Sorry I have been busy lately, and wasn't able to look at this until today. I appreciate the efforts you and others have made on this. I have some of the same comments as others - Mac users expect /Applications rather /opt. After the install was complete, the OOo install folder window came to the front (good), but I forgot that the Installer was still running (finished) - I don't think it had an adverse effect, but there might be some better ways to handle things. >- fix libxml2 bug (version mismatch sometimes) I ran into this and was not able to get past it - I can't see how this could happen "sometimes" - I would expect it to happen every time on specific configurations. I was running OOo on Mac OS X 10.3.3, which has libxml2.2, and the error message refers to the compatibility version 9.0.0 being higher than the library version 8.0.0. What version of Mac OS X are you building on? Of course, as Ed pointed out, this installer solution only works for Panther (and I assume Tiger) users, not for Jaguar users. I guess when OOo 2.0 is released, we will produce a Jaguar based US English OOo 2.0 for Mac OS X installation. Re "Start_OOo" or "Begin_OOo" - you were asking about ownership - I don't know why you just didn't contact me directly. Anyway, the original "Start OpenOffice.org" is mine, and Kevin based his "Begin_OOo" on that for the Panther installers. What you have in your installer package is some kind of mixture. I have fixed some bugs in "Start OpenOffice.org" since the last release (v1.0b9), and if there is any additional work to be done for 2.0, I would try to do that, as well as fix some more bugs and make improvements I have planned, in time for OOo 2.0 on Mac OS X. Whether "Start OpenOffice.org" should be part of "your" installation, or available separately, is something we can discuss (perhaps offline). I will try to get past the libxml2 problem, and do some more testing. >Regards, >eric bachard Regards, Terry --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
