But, the KOffice 1.1.1 for KDE2 _SHOULD_ have worked fine. There is a |
| 2 |
problem here, and the only suggestion I get is to try a *prerelease* of |
| 3 |
KOffice for KDE3. What if I want to run a stable version of KOffice? What if |
| 4 |
my documents are relying in a shortcoming or even a bug on KOffice 1.1.1? |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Point is, "emerge koffice" did not work as advertised, just because KDE3 |
| 7 |
thinks that its home dir is ~/.kde instead of ~/.kde3. We have a bug here |
| 8 |
gentlemen, we cann't afford to let it slip. KOffice is just one example of a |
| 9 |
KDE 2 app not working, other heavily-KPart applications will also have |
| 10 |
problems with this situation. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Even if I wanted KOffice 1.2pre, I am not willing to spend another 3-4 hours |
| 13 |
re-compiling all that. I did recompile KOffice twice this weekend just |
| 14 |
because I thought that there was something wrong with the first compilation. |
| 15 |
Is this what they say about Linux that it is free only if you have free |
| 16 |
time? |
| 17 |
Sorry folks, but Gentoo is now 1.0, mistakes like these should not be |
| 18 |
slipped to end-users. More testing should be done before something gets up |
| 19 |
to the portage app tree. That is the whole point of Portage anyway... :D |

How about this? |

Textar had the same problem and he fixed it pretty much the same way. By |
| 30 |
changing the order of the $PATH. At first glance it seems that the order of |
| 31 |
the $PATH does not matter, but the KDE2/3 situation shows that it does |
| 32 |
matter. |

FYI, my Gentoo review for OSNews should be up next Monday. |

/me goes to edit her /etc/env.d/ dir and prays that she'll be able to fix |
| 40 |
the problem by hand. :o) |
