Bug#379677: Subject: openoffice.org-common: openoffice searches for soffice.bin, which doesn't exist
Hi all!
Package: openoffice.org-common
Version: 2.0.4.9
Severity: important [but there is a simple workaround]
Running under Debian.Etch, Kernel 2.6.17-2-686
---------------
I'm not sure this is really pertinent to the captioned bug Ifound while
trying to solve a similar warning coming out when OOo was called by the
'/usr/bin/ooffice' wrapper or as a reference in the Netscape Helper
Application to open .sxc files.
The situation may be different as I installed alien-ing the rpms files
untarred from 'OOo_2.0.4_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz' as the etch version
did not fit my requirements.
Anyway, here we go:
When starting openoffice, it sais:
$ ooffice
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice: line ...:
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/pagein: No such file or directory
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice: line ...:
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin: No such file or directory
AAOF those files are not present in that dir.
The 'cure' was to set a symbolic link for the respective files (which in
my version are under /opt/openoffice.org2.1/program) to
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/[pagein | soffice.bin].
HTH.
Regards,
Ennio.
