G'day all.
I've been having a bit of trouble starting OpenOffice.org on a number of
Fedora Core 3 systems that i'm running.
When using any of the oo* scripts (oowriter, oocalc, etc) found in
/usr/bin/, the script terminates. For example, with the oowriter script:
'Can't exec "/home/user/.rhopenoffice1.1/soffice": No such file or
directory at /usr/bin/oowriter line 440.
which is interesting because the file only has 380 lines. The last line
reads as:
exec $UserInstallDir/soffice", @ooo_argv
the $UserInstallDir variable points to ~/.rhopenoffice1.1.
Things get a bit funny from here. The .rhopenoffice1.1 directory does
exist in the users' home directories. ~/.rhopenoffice1.1/soffice is a
symbolic link that points to /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/soffice (which
exists).
Out of curiosity, I ran the oowriter script as root (very bad security I
know) and OpenOffice.org launched fine.
So it appears that all of the symlinks and variables in scripts are
pointing to the right place, but something dying in the oo* scripts. I'm
thinking some sort of permissions issue, as root and the users' paths
are identical.
Anybody experienced this problem before or have any idea how to fix it?
Cheers!
