Description jon 2004-03-04 18:01:28 UTC

I'm using the P4 optimized open office from the gentoo 2004.0 packages cd.
If a folder called 'java' exists in my home directory, openoffice won't setup or run.
This is easy to fix - make sure ~/java does not exist. Odd problem and a pain to track down!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.mkdir ~/java
2.ooffice
3.
Actual Results:  
sh: line 1: crash_report: command not found 
 

Expected Results:  
open office should run 

To fix this problem, remove ~/java and get rid of junk files created in /tmp by the failed run. Further 
failures are less verbose (utterly silent!). This is a really trivial thing to fix once you know what 
the problem is!!!

When I create a java directory in my homedir it does work with 1.1.1b. I didn't check the installing though. In any case it is probably an upstream bug.
