[Bibus-biblio-users] OpenOffice2 - Bibus - Debian

[Nigel S. <nig...@jc...>]

Hi all,

Just a quick recount of my recent experiences with getting Bibus's
OpenOffice.org menu to work under debian with the OOo2 packages which
are now in unstable.

Out of the box I was getting the following error when trying to
initialise the uno python object:
SystemError: Error during bootstrapping uno (RuntimeException):pyuno:
couldn't instantiate invocation service

Now I tracked this down to be due to the fact UNO_TYPES and UNO_SERVICES
were not correctly set. So I've modified the /usr/bin/bibus file which
comes with the debian package to reflect this requirement, and to also
point the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the correct location for OOo2, and now I
have a working OpenOffice.org menu in bibus. /usr/bin/bibus follows:

------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/openoffice2/program
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/openoffice/program

export UNO_TYPES=/usr/lib/openoffice2/program/types.rdb
export UNO_SERVICES=/usr/lib/openoffice2/program/services.rdb

/usr/bin/python /usr/share/bibus/bibus.py
------------------------------------------------------
