An interesting link, there is a similar thread (initially for build failures on windoze, I think, but it apparently affected OSX "make check" related to their use of clang) at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2013-April/050068.html Alan, are you using clang ?

I suspect it will take some time to find the correct parms for strace (there are several programs invoked : lowriter or whatever is just a script to invoke 'soffice' which is itself a script. /me looks at the soffice script: Perhaps invoking lowriter from the commandline as $ lowriter --writer --strace might provide strace.log in $PWD As with _any_ graphical program, it will probably be an enormous log, perhaps best read by starting at the end. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early.
