I got LO installed with the options I think we should be using :
enable gtk3 and disable gtk (i.e. gtk2), and system epoxy - gtk3 is
supposed to enable system cairo, which it does, and system epoxy,

For once, I'm using a DE (old xfce-4.12) so I'm trying to use the
desktop files. Disaster, each one produces a message dialog
Failed to execute command "libreoffice6.3 --writer %U".
Failed to execute child process
“libreoffice6.3” (No such file or directory)
The odd thing is that the desktop files appear to be unchanged, e.g.
calc.desktop ends
Exec=libreoffice --calc %U
I'm guessing that we can change these files with a sed, to e.g.
For an older version of LO I have:
$ ll /usr/bin/libreoffice
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 56 Jul 15 17:31 /usr/bin/libreoffice ->
/opt/libreoffice-6.2.5.2/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice
Do you have an equivalent link of libreoffice -> soffice ?
ken@plexi ~ $ls -l /usr/bin/libreoffice
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Aug 13 18:18 /usr/bin/libreoffice ->
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice
What about libreoffice6.3? That's what the desktop file is looking for.
Also, a 'not found' problem is sometimes cured with running ldconfig.
It also occurs to me that this _might_ only happen on some machines,
or some DEs, and could perhaps better be handled in a 'configuring'
section after install (as root) ?
We don't install the .desktop files directly. Reviewing our current
instructions, it appears to me that what we have now is better in the
installing section where we are just creating symbolic links. Was there
something else?
