Bug 54403 – oooqs don't work with ximian-openoffice

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Miroslaw Mieszczak 2004-06-19 03:45:22 UTC]

The oooqs v2.02 don't work with ximian-openoffice.
It start together with KDE, but it do nothing. When I select from quickstarter 
popup menu any component of openoffice, it do nothing.

I added my email address to CC, because I'm having more or less the same problem.
This is the combination I'm using:
> equery list openoffice
Searching for package 'openoffice' in all categories among:
 * installed packages
[I--] [  ] app-office/openoffice-1.1.1-r1 (0)
> equery list oooqs
Searching for package 'oooqs' in all categories among:
 * installed packages
[I--] [  ] app-office/oooqs-2.0.2 (0)

Same here, also tried with oooqs-2.03

Yep, that results from xoo using another install dir that vanilla OOo, but there is no easy solution for that...

[Comment 4 Karim Daghay 2004-08-23 07:16:35 UTC]

As I wrote in comment #1 I have the same problem with OpenOffice.org. I'm not using Ximian OOo, so the reason Ximian OOo using different paths is not an explanation why I'm experiencing the problem.

Thanks for your help.

Karim: Next time maybe open a new bug. It is rather confusing trying to solve two problems on one podium.

[Comment 6 Miroslaw Mieszczak 2004-08-24 21:59:21 UTC]

I found reason of the error.
At first start oooqs looks into the file ~/.sversionrc to find what versions of
openoffice are installed in the system.
In my system there is file ~/.xversionrc.
I created symbolic link from .xversionrc to sversionrc
and now it is running. 
I know that it is temporary workaround, but reason is found.

[Comment 7 Karim Daghay 2004-08-25 02:35:49 UTC]

I filed bug #61608 as Paul de Vrieze recommended me (sorry for the space problem on the podium ;-).
I added some strace info which led me to get a workaround for the problem.

[Comment 8 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2004-08-25 08:07:11 UTC]

Just commited 2.0.3-r1 which now also works with openoffice-ximian, please be sure to read the einfo at the end of the build.

Anyway, we'll have to find a cleaner solution in the future, this one involves patching oooqs which is not optimal for various reasons
