No reason that I can think of. However, it's worth checking further: <http://www.redhat.com/search?site=redhat&q=openoffice&asp_charset=ISO-8859-1> <http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-15411> [Why does OpenOffice stop working after upgrading from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Server?] <https://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Release_Notes/index.html> <https://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Release_Notes/index.html#id761917> The above notes an issue when upgrading from RHEL4 to RHEL5 & a workaround is provided. But it also states: <quote> Alternatively, you can also upgrade your OpenOffice to a correct version compatible with SELinux in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. You can do this by subscribing to the "Productivity App" child channel in Red Hat Network and running the following command: yum install openoffice-{base,calc,draw,emailmerge,graphicfilter,headless,impress,javafilter,math,pyuno,writer,xsltfilter} </quote> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
