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.

HTH.

Hi all,
1. I first UNINSTALLED LibreOffice, only to find 2 mate desktop packages depend on some libreoffice package. So, now I have something slightly broken in my dnf database.

2. In downloaded AOO, and I installed it without any problems.

3. from the command line, I executed /usr/bin/soffice which is a symlink to
   /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice
4. Nothing happens. NOTHING!!!! Waited for many minutes. Nothing!!!

So, what do you suggest I do?

P.S: on older fedora releases, I had no such problem.
