Bibus Bibliographic software

pmartino, i guess this will not work since /usr/lib is a symlink to
/usr/lib64
I've read this morning installation instructions on wiki page, and found
this notice
> Don't use the version from www.openoffice.org since it will not work
with your system python that bibus requires
And i was using the openoffice-bin package from portage tree (gentoo).
I installed OOo from sources (openoffice package from portage tree - it is
go-oo build btw) and everything started to work as expected.
So, thanks again, Pierre, for your wonderful FREE and OPEN software.

P.S. I'm currently doing a web-based reference database system which
allows to 'attach' pdf files to articles. It is building up on top of
bibus. It uses databases structure of bibus, simply adding the table with
information about attached files. It's written in php, and I'm ready to
make my contribution to the world of Open Source software, if somebody
needs that, of course. I write it here, because you may be interested in
such system (maybe as a part of bibus)

Hi,

the paths are not correct since you use a 64bits OOo.
Your OOo path seems to be "/usr/lib64/openoffice"

change in bibus.cfg the 3 following paths:
oopath = /usr/lib64/openoffice/program
ooure = /usr/lib64/openoffice/ure/lib
oobasis = /usr/lib64/openoffice/basis3.0/program

The 3 paths come from your trace error.

Pierre

PS: if it works, please write a page on the wiki for your linux
distribution and add a link on the home page et
http://bibus-biblio.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page#Installation_instructions

/usr/share/bibus/bibus.cfg:
[PATH]
python = /usr/bin/python
oopath = /usr/lib/openoffice/program
ooure = /usr/lib/openoffice/basis-link/ure-link/lib #originally was

Could you please show me the contend of your file bibus.cfg to be sure that
your correctly configured the paths.
In addition, please give me the paths:
OOo3 ?
OOo3 basis directory
OOo3 base directory
python path

Pierre

when starting from console on other machine with gentoo, but x86 (not
x86_64) it writes:

** (python:2010): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status 1030
/usr/lib/openoffice/basis-link/program/uno.py:33: RuntimeWarning: Python C

.....
And insert citations just inactive and all other openoffice related
commands r not working. I'm ready to give u access thru ssh to my pc for
you to recognize what the problem is. I still can't move to OOo3 beacause
bibus don't work with it.

And i have bibus crash. Just silent crash after i configure a OOO
connection. next starts are silently crashing too. $ strace bibus last

and few lines after that. if u need it, please, inform me

I have Gentoo distribution
$ python --version
Python 2.5.2

$ uname -a
Linux azure 2.6.27.5 #1 SMP Sat Nov 22 18:24:17 EET 2008 x86_64 AMD
Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3600+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

Installed from portage. i was trying to install it by hands, but i have
found that install scripts are not versatile. To correctly install it with
/usr prefix needs some more than just correctly run configure script. I
guess this should be fixed too

Could you please give:
- your system (SUSE ?)
- how did you install bibus ?
- contend of the file bibus.cfg
