The OpenOffice.org program/python script sets URE_BOOTSTRAP which contains the location of fundamentalrc. In turn, fundamentalrc sets the location of the offapi.rdb file, which contains information about the types used by the python uno bindings. In short, when --with-system-python is used with OO.o 3.0, these variables don't get set, so we see the types breakage described in the Debian bug report. One workaround is to export an appropriate URE_BOOTSTRAP variable before running python. The alternative is to check for and set this variable in uno.py, which will cover most use cases transparently - I'm halfway through writing this patch. -- Tim Retout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
