If you go into the src/cite/ooo/ directory and type

make ooohandler.o

then back up to the top level and trying running make again, does it work 
for you? I got the same problem you did, and creating the ooohandler object 
first made the compilation succeed.

Obviously, I need to fix something in the Makefile so that object gets 
created first. I'm not sure why that is a problem now and wasn't before.

Is this you, by the way?

I happened to stumble on it when I googled my own question. I didn't know 
about that functionality on launchpad. I'm a little concerned about 
fragmented questions popping up all over the place, but I suppose that's 
the nature of the beast.

Thanks for the email!

If the command is greyed-out, it means that the openoffice plugin wasn't 
found. That could mean a couple of things, first, you did a "make install" 
right? There might also be another installation of Tellico on your computer 
that's mixing things up, possible if you installed the tellico package, 
then compiled and installed from source to a different location.

Also, it may be necessary for you to edit the /etc/ld.so.conf file or to add 
a file to the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ directory. I'm not sure what method ubuntu 
uses. For me, on Suse, I have a file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ called 
openoffice.conf with a single line
/usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program/
which is where the openoffice libraries are installed.

All of the compilation warnings are just warnings. If the compilation 
finished ok, then there shouldn't be a problem.

Oh also, if you edit the ld.so.conf stuff, you'll need to run ldconfig as 
root. You check if the libraries are found by running ldconfig -v

# ldconfig -v|grep uno
        liburp_uno.so -> liburp_uno.so
        libunoxml680li.so -> libunoxml680li.so
        libuno_sal.so.3 -> libuno_sal.so.3
        libuno_salhelpergcc3.so.3 -> libuno_salhelpergcc3.so.3
        libpyuno.so -> libpyuno.so
        libjava_uno.so -> libjava_uno.so
        libgcc3_uno.so -> libgcc3_uno.so
        libuno_cppuhelpergcc3.so.3 -> libuno_cppuhelpergcc3.so.3
        libuno_cppu.so.3 -> libuno_cppu.so.3

Well, that last line clearly says the plug-in is being found. So that's 
good.

Also, for the citation commands to be active, you have to have a 
bibliography open and at least one entry selected. Then the "Copy Bibtex" 
and "Cite in LyX" all activate, too.

I think we had emails cross, sorry about that. And if you don't mind, can 
you keep tellico-users@... in your cc list?

pointing entries

I would like to open up a tellico given entry, from the command line?
is it possible?

thank you

First of all the collection file is not a zip archive but an XML file. I
attached a sample file. The file contains an embedded Jpeg picture and a
reference to it. Nevertheless this image is not found by tellico.
It's possible to update the entry from Amazon (tried German site) and
the picture occurs. Once the file is saved it is not written again to
the file if tellico is configured to embed pictures in .tc data files.

If files should be saved outside the data file it is properly saved in
kde/share/apps/tellico/data.

Re: tellico doesn't compile with openoffice support

Ah, I didn't know I had to do "convert to bibliography" to get all the 
collection options open. In fact I didn't know there was a distinction 
between bibliography and collection. The openoffice option is now 
active. Maybe the bibliography-only options should be moved to a 
separate "bibliography" menu that gets activated when you're editing a 
bibliography.

The celebration didn't last long ...Now the problem I have is that 
Tellico crashes as soon as I click the "cite in OO" option. It does that 
whether OO is running with a pipe open or not, or whether OO is open at 
all or not. Cite in Lyx doesn't crash, and copy bibtex to clipboard 
seems to work.

I hope the stacktrace will give you an idea what might be going wrong 
(below)

cheers
