Hey,
I've just installed Noodle and pacman'ed a few applications I find useful, including: Firefox, Eclipse & OpenOffice.
However, without creating a symbolic link in /usr/bin to /opt/mozilla/firefox/bin/firefox (or something similar) I was unable to open this.
I have still been unable to open OO2 and Eclipse. I realise this problem is due to them being installed into /opt but what I'm wondering is why symbolic links aren't creating automatically through pacman (or even appending the users PATH variable)?
I cannot find the file to execute OpenOffice either, could somebody enlighten me as to where I can find it?
Also, I'm able to run Eclipse perfectly when I execute '/opt/eclipse/eclipse' however when I execute a symbolic link pointing to '/opt/eclipse/eclipse' in /usr/bin it produces an error:
"Unable to access jar file startup.jar
Also, there is something strange about my resolution. I'm running 1280x1024 on Fluxbox and yet it doesn't look "right", xpdyinfo tells me my fonts are 86x85dpi despite how I've configured them, through xorg.conf, to be 100x100dpi.
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Samsung"
DisplaySize 325 260 # These should cause my fonts to be 100x100dpi given I'm running 1280x1024
HorizSync 31.5 - 64.3
VertRefresh 50-70
End Section
Any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance

Logging out and in solved the problem for firefox and eclipse. However, OpenOffice still doesn't work.

I cannot find the file to execute OpenOffice
not sure to what extent its installed anything but maybetry from a terminal
/usr/bin/soffice
iirc you have to run the program at least once for it to install properly for the logged in user.

# soffice
worked straight off, my fault for not knowing the command was 'soffice'.
Thanks.

Not really your fault, its kind of a quirk of OO, I think its their fault.

Did you not get a bunch of new menu entries for OpenOffice? They showed up in my xfce4 menu, which meant I didn't need to know the soffice command ( I knew it anyway, but that's beside the point ).
