Re: [Evolution] interfacing witn openoffice

["J.L. Blom" <jlblom neuroweave nl>]

Andre,
Thanks for your answer. I read both bug reports and see the reason why
both sides had/have problems. I think the decision to use ~/.evolution
was the first problem but the authentication problem - in OOo - is/was
IMHO rather fundamental to Unix and one of the reasons I practically
never use a single user system (where authentication is irrelevant) nor
a crippled multi-user system (like W2000 or XP).
My problem is augmented by the fact that neither OOo ( and I thought
Evolution also) are 64-bit aware. As I'm using FC4_64 compilation runs
often into errors due to the 32-bit character of the source (don't ask
me why: I'm not a C-programmer).
I will try again to compile the 2.4.0 version and hope I will succeed.
Thanks again
Joep
