No help in OpenOffice 64 bit.

[James Knott]

I have the 64 bit version of OpenOffice installed and have found there
is no help available.  When I open help, I get a list of topics on the
left side, but on the right side, there's a long list of "You have found
a bug" messages listing a missing file.  Is there anyway to correct
this?  I have also tried updating to the lastest version, 2.0.3-1, but
that didn't make any difference.  The 32 bit version doesn't have this
problem.

tnx jk

No problem here, x86_64 system, but:

13:35 wahoo:~ > smart query OpenOffice_org
OpenOffice_org-2.0.2-25@i586
OpenOffice_org-2.0.2-27.12@i586

where did you get your OpenOffice_org ?  Doesn't look like SUSE has
provided a 64_bit version!  Might be the problem.

Dear User,

all packages below this directory are not supported
in any way by SuSE. You have to use them on your own risk.

As time permits, I maintain rebuilds of the "bleeding edge
but supposedly usable" packages for older distributions.

The primary purpose actualy is to provide newer snapshots for
SUSE Linux 9.3 until the OpenOffice.org-2.0-final is available.
                   
These packages often have old bugs removed, but sometimes new
ones added!

Feedback is very much appreciated, and will help us to provide
improved packages in the future!


Thanks,
Petr Mladek <[hidden email]>



Appears you need to give him feedback.
