[gentoo-user] libreoffice-3.4.5.2: getting LibreOffice Help fails

2012-02-19 Thread Hartmut Figge
Greetings,

after emerging libreoffice-3.4.5.2 i tried getting the help of
libreoffice by pressing F1. No luck, something flashed shortly on the
xterm resulting in several blank lines. Trying 'loffice | tee
so-log.txt' gave this:

Not very helpful. :) Well, after emerging libreoffice i was told to use
the useflag java if recognizing difficulties. Grudgingly, because that
would install another 44 packages, i have reemerged libreoffice. Thanks
ccache this time the compilation took only 33 minutes.

But pressing F1 still doesn't call 'Help'. I do not see anything related
under Tools-Options but perhaps someone of you knows about a solution. :)

I removed Java from my machine a few months ago
 lack of internal help for LO was the only thing which disappeared.
My solution was to download the LO help files from their site (PDFs),
which are actually easier to read + search than the internal help.
