Greetings! Thanks to all the great Koffice developers for koffice beta 1. I just finished compiling and installing koffice beta 1 on a Mandrake 7.2 workstation. Before this I uninstalled koffice and koffice-devel rpms. When I start /usr/local/kde/bin/koshell I get no icons on the left panel and the following messages in the xterm where I start: fatal parsing error: error while parsing element in line 1 fatal parsing error: error while parsing prolog in line 1 Parsing error fatal parsing error: unexpected end of file in line 1 fatal parsing error: error while parsing prolog in line 1 Parsing error koffice (lib kofficecore): KoMainWindow::restoreWindowSize kio (KMimeType): WARNING: KServiceType::offers : servicetype KOfficePart not found koshell: KoShellWindow::setRootDocument this=[KoShellWindow pointer (0x809b400) to widget koshell-mainwindow#1, geometry=700x600+1350+291] doc=(nil) koffice (lib kofficecore): KoMainWindow::updateCaption() koshell: KoShellWindow::setRootDocument this=[KoShellWindow pointer (0x809b400) to widget koshell-mainwindow#1, geometry=700x600+1350+291] doc=(nil) koffice (lib kofficecore): KoMainWindow::updateCaption() koffice (lib kofficecore): KoMainWindow::slotActivePartChanged( Part * newPart) newPart = (nil) koffice (lib kofficecore): current active part is (nil) koshell: Saving recent files list into config. instance()=0xbffff6a0 When I start /usr/local/kde/bin/kword I get: koffice (lib kofficecore): ERROR: Couldn't find the native MimeType in kword's desktop file. Check your installation ! What can I do to fix these problems? Thanks, -- Salvatore "Eric" Indiogine Computer Specialist - Power Operations eindiog@pnm.com X-2431
