Add a target directory. A dot is OK, will download everything into the current directory.

Eric

Okay, the dot did it. Thanks! I'll let you know how it works out... you have no idea how much all your efforts are appreciated.

Installed flawlessly... and this thing is fast. Performance compared to OO.o is night and day. Unfortunately the interface is still pretty horrid...

I'm not running Slackware, but in case it helps any, this is easy to reproduce on Fedora and Debian, and I imagine Slackware as well. Start Writer (or calc). F5 to show navigator. Dock the navigator anywhere. I get no output at the command line, but the following shows up in /var/log/messages:

segfault at 31 ip 00007fe634b666d5 sp 00007fff38249980 error 4 in libsfxlx.so[7fe6347c5000+475000]

One quick question: does libreoffice include OOWEB?

I think so. It include libreoffice writer/web.
It's a application to write HTML.

anyone tried to build -beta3 yet?

Yes. It works fine. It's currently being uploaded here, on the site of my packages and SYS distro

ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/install/sys

Thanks for confirming the problem I was having. Did you, by any chance, submit a bug report?

Regards,

I didn't (does TDF even have bug reporting set up yet?). My impression is that the LibreOffice code is changing so fast right now, there's no point submitting a bug report until there's a release candidate. I did find a good workaround, though. For whatever reason, docking those panels crashes calc and writer, but not impress. If I open up an impress window, dock the panels, and then close it, the next time I open up writer I'm fine. Since I always keep them docked, this works great for me.

WHAT THE DICKENS!!!

What.. eh? it is so fast. Is is so, fast!

'LibreOffice 3.3 Quickstarter' in the system after first run and it takes less than a second to start an office task!!!
(tested on P3 1GHz, 256MB RAM, Slackware 13.0 using KDE 3.5.10 from 12.2)

I know OOo have done great work over the years - why has OOo not made it fast to start. The DocumentFoundation.org - I am looking forward to more releases in the future - a true open-source achievement.

downloaded and installed from http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/s...486-1alien.txz

on Slackware 13.0, I had to symlink:
ln -s /usr/lib/libjpeg.so /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.8


So, so fast!

The OOO management didn't care about what the users thought or requested, they were completely detached from the userbase, that's why it really didn't progress. So, it's actually a good thing that Oracle bought Sun.

The people behind the re-fork, as libreoffice is IMO a fork of go-oo, say it was bound to happen even if Sun hadnt been bought by Oracle.

Yeah, but this expedited it.
