JD,

Are you trying to run AOO from a shell command line or in an xterm
inside your desktop?

If the former, keep in mind AOO requires a desktop (xfce, kde, etc) to
run under (unless you are trying to run as "headless"). I don't know
what AOO will do running from a shell command line without a desktop and
without the headless option.

I checked my Slackware Linux system and there is no soffice symlink in
/usr/bin. I did find a /usr/bin/openoffice4 script which runs
/opt/openoffice4/program/soffice "$@". So you might try running
/usr/bin/openoffice4 instead of /usr/bin/soffice.

Try running openoffice4 from an xterm in your desktop and see if there
are any messages spit out on the xterm. If so, the message may give you
a hint.

Not really. A lib was missing, and after I installed, all is now well.

No worries. The missing lib is now installed and all is well!
And yes, you CAN invoke soffice from the command line, as long as the DT 
is running.

Re: Latest AOO on Fedora 27 x86_64

2018-01-27 Thread Girvin Herr

JD,

Are you trying to run AOO from a shell command line or in an xterm 
inside your desktop?


If the former, keep in mind AOO requires a desktop (xfce, kde, etc) to 
run under (unless you are trying to run as "headless"). I don't know 
what AOO will do running from a shell command line without a desktop and 
without the headless option.


I checked my Slackware Linux system and there is no soffice symlink in 
/usr/bin. I did find a /usr/bin/openoffice4 script which runs 
/opt/openoffice4/program/soffice "$@". So you might try running 
/usr/bin/openoffice4 instead of /usr/bin/soffice.


Try running openoffice4 from an xterm in your desktop and see if there 
are any messages spit out on the xterm. If so, the message may give you 
a hint.

Maybe this thread will help you:
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=91704&p=436895#p436875

It looks like "gdk-pixbuf2-xlib" is missing on your system (for whatever
reason).

Kind regards, Matthias
