LibreOffice should build against system lpsolve

[Björn Michaelsen]

LibreOffice should build against system lpsolve as otherwise LibreOffice wont start without the libreoffice-calc package installed, as lpsolve is only in calc.

This is what happens after running "libreoffice --writer":

avaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!
Warning: failed to read path from javaldx
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: liblpsolve55.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have the latest OpenJDK, instead of Oracle Java.
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.1.0.4 release

Whats the output of:

find /usr/lib/libreoffice/program -name '*.so'|xargs ldd|grep solve

?

Also do you have any other fancy PPAs installed, that might disturb this?

[Galvatron (megatron)]

I don't see any.

liblpsolve55.so => not found
