  errors on starting up scalc
 
  javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!

 Do you have one?


yes i do. And i wonder why it showed up there in the first place.



  I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale en_US

 There is no such locale en_US, but e.g. en_US.UTF-8; can you check it?


There too, and again i wonder why it showed up. Unless something broke
previously.


 Exactly the same error messages (and some solutions) were reported in
 November 2007 here:

  http://www.nabble.com/Re:-GLib-GObject-CRITICAL-td13904374.html


Yes, i found this, but it was of no assistance.


 Of course, if you have an up-to-date ports tree, you should probably
 report this to [EMAIL PROTECTED]


i had an up-to-date ports tree at the time of installation.



 (BTW, there are pre-built packages for all OpenOffice versions:

  ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/editors/


 No, i have not.

Some thing strange happened though. I tried OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome before
and it returned the same error. I tried it after a few days of hustling and
its worked fine.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time.

I tried this about a week ago without much success. I could get 
openoffice.org-2.3.1_1 to run but when I tried to open an .odt with 
writer it hung with the following errors:

(process:2307): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2242: initialization 
assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function

(process:2307): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion 
`initialization_value != 0' failed

(process:2307): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion 
`G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed

I also tried openoffice.org-2.4.20080308 from the same directory. 
That sort of worked - I could open files but the formatting was wrong 
with lots of spaces missing. But 2.4 is still in development (I think) 
so things like that might be to be expected.

According to what can be read on the page I sent with my previous mail,
it seems to be a GTK-related issue. I confirm that all 7-stable
OpenOffice packages (including 2.3.1_1) work perfectly on my plain
7.0-RELEASE/i386 install, but with *up-to-date* ports, not with
precompiled packages shipped as a part of the release. So,

1) Update your ports, and don't forget ports/UPDATING;
2) Try OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome if you're using KDE.

Unfortunately building OpenOffice from ports on my underpowered Duron 
1600 system isn't an option until I treat myself to a hardware upgrade. 
My ports are up to date, but upgraded with portupgrade -P to use 
packages where possible. I did once try to build OpenOffice from ports 
last year on my 6.3 system but it came up with a compile error after 
about 3 days continuous compiling so I fell back to using a package 
instead - that version (2.3.1) is still running fine on 6.3. Looks like 
I need to keep my dual boot 6.3 / 7.0 setup for a while longer yet.

I note that the discussion on  
http://www.nabble.com/Re:-GLib-GObject-CRITICAL-td13904374.html 
suggests that the problem is amd64 specific but this doesn't appear to 
be the case - I'm running an i386 system.

Hi,

Apologies for not responding sooner, i have been away since last week.

Eduardo, i installed if from ports


Which gcc version do you use? I recall that someone described similar
 symptoms on FreeBSD/amd64 with OpenOffice.org compiled using gcc-4.1.
 It was a bug in gcc-4.1; recompiling with gcc-4.2 resolved all problems.


Thanks, im using FreeBSD/i386 using gcc 4.2.1. but im still experiencing
this.

 Hi,
 
 I am running FreeBSD 7.0 Pre-Release on an HP 6720s Laptop. I am
 experiencing a strange problem with OpenOffice.
 
 Every time i open a document/spreadsheet or try to save a

 When i open a spreadsheet, i get a warning message about macros, when
 i click on OK, it hangs at that point.
 
 Has any one experienced this? Any one know to resolve this.
