Ah, now I see what you mean. I just recreated: root@g:/usr/bin# ln -s /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice /usr/bin/ooffice root@g:/usr/bin# ls -al *ooffice lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Jul 30 19:59 ooffice -> /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice root@g:/usr/bin# /usr/bin/ooffice /usr/bin/ooffice: 119: /usr/bin/ooffice: /opt/openoffice4/program/ooffice.bin: not found OT: Regarding other responses - unfortunately this list seems to have broken threads all over the place. Not sure why - maybe gmane isn't threading properly. I reply to one thread & then find that others have reponded in some other thread. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
