Yep. I got it to partially work, but not well, by doing the following: First: D/L'd the glibc they hand out at stardivisions website. I stuck the libs from that in /usr/local/Office51/glibc. (I *didn't* follow the readme.) Second: Ran this hack of the soffice script -- 8< -- #!/bin/sh SOFFICE=/usr/local/Office51 SFONTS=$SOFFICE/fonts java_ld_library_path=`$SOFFICE/bin/javaldx` LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$java_ld_library_path THREADS_TYPE=native_threads export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SOFFICE/lib:$SOFFICE/glibc:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH SAL_FONTPATH=$SFONTS/type1,$SFONTS/75dpi XPPATH=$SOFFICE/xp3 export SAL_FONTPATH XPPATH $SOFFICE/glibc/ld-linux.so.2 $SOFFICE/bin/soffice.bin \ "$1" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5" "$6" "$7" "$8" "$9" -- 8< -- It's basically the same as the provided soffice shell script but with low portability in mind. 8) Unfortunately, this only makes the soffice.bin run, the other binaries need wrappers too in order to work...but it gets messy making sure that you move the .bin's to some .bin.bak and faking the system calls with a .bin shell script like the one above. Not sure if this is a good way..?? Somehow to set the ld-linux.so.2 to use for all programs run from a script.....open to suggestions here... BTW, it starts up, but that's about as useful as it gets. I couldn't print, save, or open from what I tried (probably due to plugin manager not starting). And it acts like I'm passing it filenames to open when it first starts. Maybe trying to open whatever was open last or something... Doesn't segfault tho. :) HTH, -- - mike http://ctelcom.net/mike/ -- Debian GNU/Linux http://www.debian.org/ - "To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen." Romans 16:27
