this
has something to do with OOo. I've tried to uninstall (apt-get --purge
remove) and reinstalling. This does not help.
How can I set up a more extensive logging of the startup prosess of
OOo?
Has anyone had this problem before?
The program was workong flawlessly for a long time, and I can not
recall
doing anything to it, except regular apt-get upgrade on the Debian
system.
All input appreceated!

It *sounds* like it might be a permissions problem. And while I am on Fedora FC3, this could apply to any Linux/Solaris installation ...

Take a look in /tmp - is there a file there with a name something like

    /tmp/OSL_PIPE_200_SingleOfficeIPC_f5f92b2f844449becfd40ef1a4d2cd4

(or /usr/tmp your own ${TMPDIR} location).

If there is one there see if you (a) own it and (b) have read/write/execute permission for it.

Try blowing it (them) away and then try OOo again.
