I have no clue why it is set up that way. However, I'll hazard a guess. Perhaps there are program names in the OOo bin directory that conflict with some other system-installed programs. If that isn't the case, seems setting the PATH would be the much preferred way to go. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.28] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 11:41:00 up 32 days, 23:18, 1 user, load average: 0.18, 0.12, 0.15 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
