Additional info:

Comment 1 Flavio Cardone 2004-05-20 09:38:00 UTC
Found the OpenOffice directory. However, the binaries *did* vanish for
/usr/bin

Comment 2 Dan Williams 2004-05-20 14:03:23 UTC
so you have no /usr/bin/oowriter, /usr/bin/ooffice, etc?  can you run:

rpm -ql openoffice.org | grep ooffice

and also:

rpm -qv openoffice.org

and attach the results here?


Comment 3 Flavio Cardone 2004-05-23 15:02:26 UTC
Both commands resulted in no output, except that "packet openoffice is
not present". My old openoffice had been an install from source
(downloaded from www.openoffice.org), which generates binaries called
soffice (not ooffice). Anyway, after installing FC2, the "soffice"
binaries disappeared. Everything was OK after downloading again the
files from www.openoffice.org, compiling and reinstalling.

Flavio, so this has been fixed that, since you do not use the OOo
provided by Fedora, but prefer to use it directly from
www.openoffice.org ? (I conclude that since you get "package
openoffice is not present" from comment 3)

Comment 5 Flavio Cardone 2004-06-14 15:04:52 UTC
Colin, I didn't quite understand your comment - yes, I had on my
computer the Ooffice installed from www.openoffice.org - it was after
installing FC2 that I had the problem

Comment 6 Colin Charles 2004-06-19 08:12:46 UTC
Flavio, what I meant is that this isn't a bug with the OOo that comes
with Fedora is it? This is a bug with OpenOffice.org itself (i.e. an
upstream issue)

Comment 7 Dan Williams 2004-09-25 21:01:06 UTC
seems like an up2date/rpm/yum issue...  but since its fixed by
manually installing the packages, closing.
