Re: Re: Mac OS X build of OOo1.9 m85 is available at Good-Day ; first impressions

You asked:
     What are you exactly using : XFree86 (X11)  , XDarwin ? BTW...are 
you using Panther ?
      If you're using Jaguar, this version will never work. gcc-3.3 is 
needed, and I'm not sure XCode for Jaguar use it...
       (+ dlcompat + other needed stuff )
      Can you please start OOo in a terminal ?  I think some library is 
missing or something like that...
Obviously (10.3.8) Panther, with with X11 from Apple's XCode.
And I did start soffice from an xterm,  otherwise I would not have seen 
the warning message about the font.
	Does a Macosx of StarOffice 8 already exists  ??
No, staroffice 8 beta runs on Linux (and crashes frequently -- I tried 
the OOoLatex macros on it). I haven't used the Windoze version (I usae 
windoze essentially only for doing my taxes).
	Not completely sure : try to use accented chars in filenames,  or 
folder names...Try to use some others fonts, I'm not sure it       
	works neither...
Why would I want to use non-ascii characters in filenames and make them 
incompatible with other unix systems? Or with emacs -- still my 
favorite editor.

If you have a French version of 1.9.83 and let me know where it can be 
found, I'll be glad to run a few tests on it.
