I have the same problem and install manually dbus not help. Haiku gcc4h rev. r34677.

So the problem seems to be X11 is not compiled in I guess.

Also, it would be nice if someone could package this all into a a .pkg, and make an executable script that would launch dbus + kword, and kpresenter, with links to the menu etc.

edit - scratch that. From the above, it seems when you launch kword, it auto launches dbus.

Quoting kaliber:

In my opinion dbus package installs correctly (except mailbox and chown error, please ignore it, it's required only for *system* session)

that is the error that I was talking about.

But now is running fine here!

Now saving and open odt files is a great thing to me.

I did a simple launcher app with a text file

Code:#!/bin/sh
progname={65c0a398fff7dafd92cccd1b999cfd95}
curdir=`dirname "$progname"`
cd "$curdir"
eval `dbus-launch --auto-syntax`
/boot/common/bin/kword


I think Haiku should be very careful not to depend heavily on ported QT software. Look at the UI of KOffice, look at the way most Open Source projects other then Haiku are managed and the way they develop their software.

It's often messy, bloated, un-intuitive and the developers tend to choose to implement new features and change underlying technologies just because they can and just because it's "cool" from a technical point of view, not focusing on the needs and expectations of the users.

This is not the way software for Haiku should be developed. I think we should focus on the QT port and on giving QT software a completely native look and feel on Haiku, so that developers can start developing new, original software in sync with the Haiku-spirit of simplicity and usability.

After installing it and confirming libz.so is in the correct place, it still complains it's not there.
