In my Fedora Core 4 system (using FC4's OOo RPMs) /etc/openoffice.org-2.0 is a symbolic link to the OOo installation directory (that directory contains program/). I guess that that link isn't being created by installpkg, because the script that does it isn't converted by rpm2tgz. If you run something like this as root, it will probably fix your problem. ln -s /usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0 openoffice.org-2.0 Interestingly, /usr/bin/openoffice.org-2.0 in my system is ==== #!/bin/sh exec /usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice "$@" ==== with no reference to /etc/openoffice.org-2.0 at all, but that may be because of some tweaks done by the FC4 packagers. The link in /etc/ appears to be due to the copy of OOo 2.0.0 I previously installed using OOo's RPMs. Copy emailed to original poster. -- Mac :}) ** I usually forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
