In lieu of any US version, I am using the GB version of 680m242
Build 9248, which has been bullet-proof so far. Only thing is how
can I import my Options/Preferences from my other OOo versions
which will stick? It's a pain to re-set Options whenever testing
out new versions.
There is a bug in v2.4 - see bug report
<http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=84232> that puts
the user data in the application folder rather than /Library.
It has a workaround to point 2.4 back to the folders in /Library.
I think the en_US version on Good Day is listed as 'install.dmg'
instead of the expected 'install_en_US.dmg'
Thanks for replying:
I'm just a newbie when it comes to using Terminal (I really need step
by step instructions) , but is there any way to insert/swap my HD's
library's OOo2 configuration file into the "faulty" 689m242 file's
configuration file -- even just as an exercise to see if such a temp
fix can be done?
No need to use Terminal. The workaround just requires a text editor (I
use TextWrangler. TextEdit will work but be sure to save as plain text.
Here are the instructions from the link I posted before.
Workaround: edit OpenOffice.org 2.4.app/Contents/MacOS/bootstraprc
and replace
the value of key UserInstallation with
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/OpenOffice.org-aqua/2
Note: This is for the Aqua version. You did not state if you are using
the Aqua or X11 version. If it is X11 you would have to eliminate -aqua
in the above line.
To find the bootstraprc file, in Finder go to
Applications/OpenOffice.org 2.4.app Right click on it and then click
'Show Package Contents' . Go to Contents/MacOS/bootstraprc and edit
file, saviing it in plain .txt
Hope this helps. I am not an engineer or developer but a simple user who
appreciates the work being done on devloping the native Aqua port.
