Re: [gentoo-user] Libreoffice-bin 3.4 error on execute

I think the ebuild got the commandline wrong. If you start it from the shell, it is libreoffice. A symbolic link should help, otherwise I assume there will be a fix in portage soon. Stefan

Applications generally do *NOT* use the version number in the executable name, or even the fact that they're a bin version. You just supply the base filename on the commandline. E.g., I have libreoffice-bin-3.3.2 installed. It is launched with the command libreoffice. I have gimp-2.6.11 installed. It is launched with the command gimp. A few programs allow multiple versions. They have the real executable in a working directory, and a symlink in /etc/usr/bin which points to the real executable. So you launch the main version with the regular command. You can also launch other installed versions by supplying the full pathname to its working directory. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org
