For a reason I do not know, OpenOffice.org will not start this morning, and I need to finish a document today. I was running OO.o-3.0.0, so I decided to see if upgrading to the latest version would fix the problem. It won't.
I got the -3.1.1 tarball, but my SlackBuild script fails to complete because it cannot stat a usr/ directory (but doesn't tell me the parent directory). Anyway, searching for the problem's source I discovered that /usr/bin/soffice is a link to /opt/openoffice3.org/program/soffice, and the application loads if I invoke it as root, but not if I try to invoke it as a user. /usr/bin/soffice has 777 permissions. /opt is owned by root.root with 777 permissions. /opt/openoffice.org and /opt/openoffice.org3 are owned by rshepard.users with 755 permissions. What might have happened? More importantly, how do I fix the system so I can again invoke OO.o? Rich -- Richard B.
