Hey Lindsay,
I have OO running on a FC3 machine. I haven't had any probs with it. If
there's anything I can do to help out (eg. something to try on my
machine for you so you can compare it with what your's is doing) let me
know.
Regards,
Patrick

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!
