Description bulbul 2002-11-13 05:21:02 UTC 
Installation of the XML filter required to view the developer manuals is
frustrating. I eventually gave up when i got 

   ./regcomp: error while loading shared libraries: libsal.so.3: 
   cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 

Why not provide conversion to a viewable format (sxw or html) right on the
server? Click on the link, view in your browser.

Perhaps an easy way to do this would be to provide a stylesheet so
that the XML file can be viewed in a browser.

In the Developer release the Flat file XML Filter is included in the
setup.  

It is included as a custom install option.  Is that ok for this issue
to be resolved?

Can I suggest that this issue be closed?

Let me know.

Thanks.

Why not set this bug to "later" rather than closing it? I still think
that one should be able to view the documents in a browser. The
current setup essentially stops anyone who doesn't have the developer
release installed from viewing these files. Why can't there be either
a server side filter which converts the the XML file to HTML, or some
other solution for viewing the files in a browser?

setting to later.

Thanks.

Dev Guide got converted to the web meanwhile, at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide
I suppose this issue can be closed now.
