With apologies to the OP. I put the [linux] tag on so that Windows users can skip this.

I noticed that OOo doesn't seem to use a path that is not in /usr/bin/ - For instance, if I put a path (meaning the Tools|Options|Internet|E-mail path) for Seamonkey in: /usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey (or seamonkey-bin), I get the "not configured" error. However, if I put anything from /usr/bin in the path: evolution, mozilla, etc., OOo will actually start the program. Examples: Path entry: "evolution" - brings up the evolution email program (I have this installed) /usr/bin/evolution - ditto "mozilla" - brings up Mozilla Firefox (I have this installed) /usr/bin/mozilla - ditto seamonkey - error /usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey - error Now, the /usr/bin/mozilla is a symbolic link to Firefox; there is no symlink to seamonkey. Ditto for evolution. Note that /usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey is the proper path to run my Mozilla Seamonkey program but OOo doesn't seem to recognize this. So, I'm wondering if OOo has a configuration error that doesn't allow it to follow anything other than a /usr/bin path. Tomorrow I'll create a symlink in /usr/bin to Seamonkey and see if that works. Perhaps one of the OOo development folks can tell us exactly how this path process works and what the config files are so that we can modify and/or put in the proper path information? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
