Open Office and Gnome problem
 
i downloaded openoffice1.1.0.tar.gz.
i tar -zxvf openoffice1.1.0.tar.gz
then ./configure
then make
then make install
then startx to enter the Gnome.
In Gnome, i run setup to start installation in GUI mode.
Installation finished without any problem

The problem is i can't see any open office executable file in my
install directory /root/openoffice1.1.0.
I can't even see it in the menu! I can't launched it!

Then i switch to KDE.
In KDE, everything is fine.
i can see the open office in the menu and launched it.
Then i type "writer" in the Run application dialog and launched the open office successfully too.

When i tried to type "Writer" in Gnome's Run application dialog, it couldn't
find the correct path and executable.

Why my Gnome was failed but my KDE is OK?
Can anyone please help me?

Thanks.

Because the office team included KDE installation
scripts, but not gnome.

~/openoffice1.1.0 is not the installation directory
though, if you installed it properly.
It should live in
/usr/local/OpenOffice1.1.0
The prorams should be in
/usr/local/OpenOffice1.1.0/program

Try to run
/usr/local/OpenOffice1.1.0/setup
again (from gnome)

Cheers,
Tink

my install directory
 
I set my install directory to /root/openoffice1.1.0 when i first install open office in GUI mode in Gnome.
This means i chose to install my open office into /root/openoffice1.1.0
So i should be able to find the executable file in /root/openoffice1.1.0 to launch my open office application.
Am i correct?

Correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks.

Odd place :}

However, it should be in
/root/openoffice1.1.0/program

If you did a ls -l in /root/openoffice1.1.0
you should get something like:
