[gentoo-user] OpenOffice again

[gentoo-user] OpenOffice again

[JC Denton]

Hi!

Ok I emerged openoffice and let it compile the whole
day ;). But the problem is, that the help does not
work!

"The help system could not be started."
"The help file for this topic is not installed."
 

Is this a configuration problem? Anyway I need the
open office in the moment (important report!) So is it
save to unmerge OpenOffice and use the
open-office-bin? 

Thanks!

If you run

# quickpkg openoffice

then you will have a backup of the openoffice that you have installed now that 
you may remerge at a later time without compiling again. Then you can safely 
unmerge openoffice and emerge openoffice-bin without losing anything.

Thank you!

And where will the backup be located? Maybe I stay
with the openoffice-bin and do not need the OpenOffice
again.

In $PKGDIR defaulting to /usr/portage/packages. eclean may be used to clean 
$PKGDIR and $DISTDIR.

Thanks!

I did install the openoffice-bin. I did a
revdep-rebuild (I usually do after emerge ;) ) and
ooffice needed to be rebuild. I did the revdep-rebuild
again and ooffice is going to be compiled again. How
to end this? The problem is, that the icons in
Applications/Office/... do not find ooffice. Starting
from the terminal works. Is there something to
reconfigure?

Regards JC

First of all please stop top-posting. Replies below what they reply to. 
Secondly, please post the output of:

# revdep-rebuild -i -p -- -v

I've noticed the same thing with OOo-bin.  However, I have not noticed
any problems with it yet (other than what I mentioned in another
thread with regards to instering/pasting text).  So, I just left it
alone.

Hi,

Maybe you should have a look here :
http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Control_revdep-rebuild

Explanation is probably here :

Thanks.  The strange thing is that lately Opera and FF-bin are not
re-emerged when I revedep-rebuild, only OOo-bin does.  Anyway, its not
a problem from what I read in these links.

That is because the ebuilds install a file in /etc/revdep-rebuild that
instruct revdep-rebuild to mask the appropriate directories.

Quoting from "man revdep-rebuild"

CONFIGURATION
       revdep-rebuild no longer uses hardcoded paths. To change the default behavior the following  variables  can  be
       changed by the user.

       SEARCH_DIRS - List of directories to search for executables and libraries

       SEARCH_DIRS_MASK - List of directories to not search

       These  variables  can be prepended to either by setting the variable in your environment prior to execution, by
       placing an entry in /etc/make.conf, or by placing a file  in  /etc/revdep-rebuild  containing  the  appropriate
       variables.

       The variables are read and set in the following order:

       environment settings - one time changes by user
       /etc/make.conf - persistant changes by user
       /etc/revdep-rebuild/* - persistant changes by ebuild authors

       While  a  user  can  edit  and  modify the files in the /etc/revdep-rebuild directory, please be aware that the
       /etc/revdep-rebuild directory is not under configuration protection and files can be removed and/or overwritten
       by an ebuild. To change this add /etc/revdep-rebuild to the CONFIG_PROTECT variable in /etc/make.conf.

Regards,
Paul
