Hi all,

I am having trouble with launching Koffice on my computer. I am working 
on my Macintosh 1 Gz G4 Powerbook with 512 Mb SDRAM. Following the 
instructions published in the August 2004 issue of Macworld, I used 
fink to install bundle-KDE and the gimp. Everything went very smoothly 
and all works just fine (except for the koffice apps). When I try to 
launch kword (or kspread or any other office app) the app appears in 
the kicker and seems to try to launch. After about 20s though, the 
launch quietly fails and the icon in the kicker disappears. If I launch 
kword from konsole I see:

QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty
kio (KSycoca): Trying to open ksycoca from 
/private/var/tmp/kdecache-cliftonfranklund/ksycoca
kio (KTrader): KServiceTypeProfile::offers( KOfficePart, )
kio (KTrader): Returning 10 offers

Then nothing happens. When I use finkCommander to look at my installed 
packages I see that I have the most current version of koffice (1.3-23) 
but have an outdated version of bundle KDE (3.2.2-21). Could this be 
the source of my problems? I have tried - unsuccessfully - to update my 
version of bundle KDE. Perhaps I have missed some configuration setting 
to get koffice to work?

I have fiddled with this for long enough on my own. Any help or 
suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
