I have just installed SuSE 9.1 via the ftp site at JetstreamGames but I cannot get OpenOffice to start.
Error: The file "/opt/OpenOffice.org/program/instdb.ins" can not be read Error: It is needed to run "SuSEconfig --module OpenOffice.org" Error: Please, contact administrator.
I have not been able to find a solution via Google yet.
Can someone explain the results below (and if it looks like my problem)?
linux:/opt/OpenOffice.org/program # ls instdb.ins /bin/ls: instdb.ins: Too many levels of symbolic links
linux:/opt/OpenOffice.org/program # ls -l instdb.ins lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 5 11:29 instdb.ins -> instdb.ins
Well, the file instdb.ins is linked to itself, hence the reason for the "Too many levels of symbolic links" error.
On my OO 1.1.0 install, instdb.ins looks like some configuration-type file written in some dialect of Basic. Lokos pretty important, and is 700K in size. Doesn't look like your install went properly. Maybe the file got put somewhere else? Also, if that went wrong, there might be a chance that other parts of the install are borked too.
Cheers, Carl.
