[gentoo-user] OpenOffice help files
Hi, in OpenOffice, when hitting F1, I only get a dialog saying: "The help file for this topic is not installed." I cannot find any package or USE Flag. Asking Google I only get noise. The package installed is openoffice; I did not realize there is a precompiled version openoffice-bin at that time. I myself will stick using TeX but I am convincing other people that Linux and OpenOffice is a better choice. So this problem comes in very inconventient for me. Thanks for any hints in advance.

Please, check if "emerge -pv app-office/openoffice" gives you "-doc". Also the same could be hecked with "euse -i doc" if have app-portage/gentoolkit installed. -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Is it possible you don't have the java USE flag enabled? The openoffice ebuild contains the following warning: "You are building with java-support disabled, this results in some of the OpenOffice.org functionality (i.e. help) being disabled. If something you need does not work for you, rebuild with java in your USE-flags. Also the xml use-flag is disabled with -java to prevent build breakage." -- Chris Atkinson email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] homepage: http://www.pipeline.com/~cwa/TYWHome.htm rss: http://www.pipeline.com/RSS/TYW_Events.xml signature.asc Description: PGP signature

So I couldn't see that output. Sorry. Now it works. Thanks. Bertram -- Bertram Scharpf Stuttgart, Deutschland/Germany http://www.bertram-scharpf.de -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

"genlop -i openoffice" will show you the USE flags used to emerge it. -- Neil Bothwick Few women admit their age. Few men act theirs. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
