I attempted to run the patch on setup and it didn't work. I wasn't feeling ambitious enough to figure out why though, since my hack worked well enough. -- Scott K.

So is there no permanent solution to the problem allowing libc5 dependant stuff like the setup program to find the right libs? And out of curiosity. why don't the actual apps (swriter for example) not have this problem?

Staroffice 3.1 core-dumps.
Hi I installed Staroffice 3.1 using the debian installer .deb's All seemed to have gone fine, but when I run setup to do the per-user setup bit, it coredumps... Also if I run swriter3, or any of the other binaries, it also tries to run the setup bit, which core-dumps of course, and then complains about the user setup not being done. Running a Hamm system that is about a week old since the last update. P.S. I am still having problems with my perl, if anyone remembers my previous messages on the topic... I'd really appreciate some input...
