Maintaining compatibility and working with the developers of the gcc doesn't mean Sun will switch to using gcj to build the OOo. > Just to be clear, I didn't mean to say that *Sun* would build OOo with > gcj.

It was in the first mail (I deleted it already) but thanks to browser history: http://www.evolutioncolt.com/mainweb/?q=node/11 or direct links: http://www.evolutioncolt.com/downloads/evolutioncolt_oo2_java.sh http://www.evolutioncolt.com/downloads/evolutioncolt_oo2_nonjava.sh I don't like these scripts since they hardcode the version, don't support offline-installation and they could have probably used the freedesktop-menus rpm as base for the menus. Probably it misses a call to update-desktop-database for the menu-entries as well. > >See above.

And I needed the force-overwrite switch (and had to launch the registration-commands). ciao Christian -- NP: Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
