Re: 1.1.3-KDE on RHAT 9.0 File Open Dialog ?

Okay...Here's the synopsis.

Back in December, I didn't have a chance to do this and needed the space on my harddrive so I deleted OOO-1.1.3. Since then, I downloaded ooo-build and tried to do it all myself. Everything was peachy in the build except for some complaints about the psprint_config patch (which I implemented manually) and LD_LIBRARY_PATH not finding KDE (I set that manually to include /opt/kde/lib), and then everything compiled.

So this morning, I come down and setup my newly baked OOO to see what happened. And everything is fine EXCEPT FOR THE FILE-OPEN DIALOG.

Thinking that I just wasted a bunch of time, I am about to delete the thing when I remember the LD_LIBRARY_PATH comment here and note that I also had the same issue in the middle of compiling. I set the variable, and when I restart OOO, the filepicker works fine!

Thanks!

My impression is that I could have just downloaded the build from here instead of doing it myself and this solution would have still worked. On the plus side, OOO now starts in under 5 seconds on my box. :-)
