[Libreoffice] Help?

[Michael Meeks]

Hi Jerry,

	First - welcome to LibreOffice :-) most of these questions are best
asked on IRC, but lets archive some of the answers here.

	That basically means - it has already fetched everything :-) that is a
good sign.

	Oooh - old software on new hardware - fun :-)

	Ah - it is probable that you need the main OSS repositories enabled; at
least - I believe we had the split build in 11.2 (which bootstrap is
from). Perhaps it is better to add the repository here:

	sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/LibreOffice:/Unstable/openSUSE_11.2/ lo-unstable

	And then do the zypper si -d command (you could also install RC1
pre-built to have a play).

	Nurgh; still. I suspect this is some dependency problem that we need to
check more carefully in configure. Petr - have you seen this before ?

	In general, if you hack pieces out of the build blindly, you will
eventually cause far more trouble than you solve :-) it is usually
better to try to trouble-shoot why it is not working in the first
instance, as every problem may have a root issue that causes many other
problems in turn.

	Wow :-) that's more fun indeed; again - Petr may be able to help, you
really need all the dependencies installed right (hopefully the above
helps).

	All the best !
