 a problem from what I read in these links.

That is because the ebuilds install a file in /etc/revdep-rebuild that
instruct revdep-rebuild to mask the appropriate directories.

Quoting from man revdep-rebuild

CONFIGURATION
   revdep-rebuild no longer uses hardcoded paths. To change the default 
behavior the following  variables  can  be
   changed by the user.

   SEARCH_DIRS - List of directories to search for executables and libraries

   SEARCH_DIRS_MASK - List of directories to not search

   These  variables  can be prepended to either by setting the variable in 
your environment prior to execution, by
   placing an entry in /etc/make.conf, or by placing a file  in  
/etc/revdep-rebuild  containing  the  appropriate
   variables.

   The variables are read and set in the following order:

   environment settings - one time changes by user
   /etc/make.conf - persistant changes by user
   /etc/revdep-rebuild/* - persistant changes by ebuild authors

   While  a  user  can  edit  and  modify the files in the 
/etc/revdep-rebuild directory, please be aware that the
   /etc/revdep-rebuild directory is not under configuration protection and 
files can be removed and/or overwritten
   by an ebuild. To change this add /etc/revdep-rebuild to the 
CONFIG_PROTECT variable in /etc/make.conf.

Paul

[gentoo-user] OpenOffice again

2006-06-28 Thread JC Denton
Hi!

Ok I emerged openoffice and let it compile the whole
day ;). But the problem is, that the help does not
work!

The help system could not be started.
The help file for this topic is not installed.
 

Is this a configuration problem? Anyway I need the
open office in the moment (important report!) So is it
save to unmerge OpenOffice and use the
open-office-bin? 

Thanks!

If you run

# quickpkg openoffice

then you will have a backup of the openoffice that you have installed now that 
you may remerge at a later time without compiling again. Then you can safely 
unmerge openoffice and emerge openoffice-bin without losing anything.

Thank you!

And where will the backup be located? Maybe I stay
with the openoffice-bin and do not need the OpenOffice
again.

Thanks!

I did install the openoffice-bin. I did a
revdep-rebuild (I usually do after emerge ;) ) and
ooffice needed to be rebuild. I did the revdep-rebuild
again and ooffice is going to be compiled again. How
to end this? The problem is, that the icons in
Applications/Office/... do not find ooffice. Starting
from the terminal works. Is there something to
reconfigure?

First of all please stop top-posting. Replies below what they reply to. 
Secondly, please post the output of:

# revdep-rebuild -i -p -- -v

I've noticed the same thing with OOo-bin.  However, I have not noticed
any problems with it yet (other than what I mentioned in another
thread with regards to instering/pasting text).  So, I just left it
alone.
