Hello,
I'm still fumbling around with my self-compiled version of the koffice
beta4...
I managed to compile koffice successfuly with the prefix /usr/local wheras
kde resides in /opt/kde3 (suse 8.2 distro)
When I start my PC and log in as a user (/home/march) I could not start the
program because it did not appear in the menu and starting it from
/usr/local/bin brought up the application (e.g. kspread) without the
templates and without the full menu.
That was linked to some of my environment variables not being set. I solved
this one by
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde3
export KDEDIRS=/usr/local:/opt/kde3
kbuildsycoca
(I didn't set $KDEHOME, because echo reveiled it is already pointing to
/home/march/.kde3)
And it worked (well also crashed sometimes but I guess this is due to it
being the beta?).
Next I tried to set these changes permanently, first by changing the bashrc
file (I'm not 100% sure, I cannot check because I am at work now on a Win
2000 PC :-( ) or something of that sort, later by adapting
/etc/profile.local. On every occasion, after reboot, the variables were set
(checked with echo $KDE...etc ) but in order to make things work I had to
run kbuildsycoca too.
Now my question is why? In the documents about the KDE directory tree and
the "running 2 versions of KDE" I saw nothing about this. Could somebody
help pls?
Marc
