 |
|
After updating my openoffice-ximian (not the binary package) to 1.1.53
i can't launch it.
| Code: |
bungle@frontline bungle $ xoowriter
You are starting this version of Ximian OpenOffice.org for the first time
As the user install has changed again you will have to redo your settings
running openoffice.org setup...
setup failed.. abort
bungle@frontline bungle $ xoosetup

I have linc installed on my system.
What could be wrong ?
Thank you all

I tried ximian-openoffice, binary and source versions. Root could run both, but for any other user, the setup would fail or segfault. So I just use plain old openoffice now, and it works fine. Not worth the trouble messing with xooffice. I hate programs with non-descriptive error messages like "Failed!". If I wanted that crap I'd go back to Windows.  |

Re-emerge openssl. That fixed it for me. 
I had openoffice-bin which I unmerged before installing the ximian version and got these exact same errors. On another box with a fresh install of openoffice-ximian-bin it worked fine.
Also, on some other thread someone suggested to emerge linc, which I already had but I re-emerged it anyway before re-emerging openssl.

I'm having the same problem (I think), but I've emerged both linc and openssl. Only thing that may be slightly different is that I'm on a PPC (G3 ibook), but it compiled fine.

Gnome session manager detected - session management disabled

Doesn't run as regular users or root, and I get an actual segault rather than just "setup failed". This is the first time I've tried to setup any version of OO on this laptop, so I don't think I have any /opt/OpenOffice - /opt/Ximian-OpenOffice conflicts. Any ideas?[/code] |
