--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 For me anyway, the for loop immediately following the make install command
 fails with a bash error causing the whole block of commands not to
 complete.

 {{{

 echo "#!/bin/bash
 bash: !/bin/bash: event not found
 }}}


 I was copying and pasting the whole block of commands from the book
 directly to a bash shell command prompt like I often do. But maybe there
 is something about my environment causing this particular echo line not
 work as expected for me. Anyway, I created these launcher scripts sort of
 manually...


 {{{
 cat > /usr/bin/base << "EOF"
 #!/bin/bash
 exec /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice --nologo --base "${@}"
 EOF
 cat > /usr/bin/calc << "EOF"
 #!/bin/bash
 exec /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice --nologo --calc "${@}"
 EOF
 cat > /usr/bin/draw << "EOF"
 #!/bin/bash
 exec /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice --nologo --draw "${@}"
 EOF
 cat > /usr/bin/impress << "EOF"
 #!/bin/bash
 exec /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice --nologo --impress "${@}"
 EOF
 cat > /usr/bin/math << "EOF"
 #!/bin/bash
 exec /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice --nologo --math "${@}"
 EOF
 cat > /usr/bin/writer << "EOF"
 #!/bin/bash
 exec /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice --nologo --writer "${@}"
 EOF
 }}}


 Maybe someone can tell me why the book's commands might be doing this only
 for me, or maybe someone can think of a better way to generate these six
 scripts in the book.
