Open Office Org 1.1.2

All

Open Office fails to load/start.  From Term:

[scott@ip68-7-36-36 scott]$ oocalc
Installation of OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 failed:
 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/ooo-1.1:/usr/lib/ooo-
1.1/program /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/setup -
R:/etc/openoffice/autoresponse.conf -v -nogui > ~ /.openoffice-install-
log 2>&1'

ran /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/soffice but that resulted:

[scott@ip68-7-36-36 scott]$ /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/soffice
[scott@ip68-7-36-36 scott]$ /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/setup: line 159:
syntax error near unexpected token `else'
/usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/setup: line 159: `  else'
 which is:

# extend the library search path for libvcl compiled with more widgets
sets
if [ -n "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ] &&
   [ -d "$sd_archive_path/widgets" ] ; then
  if [ -n "$OOo_WIDGET_SET" ] &&

$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
  else
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$sd_archive_path/widgets/default:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
  fi
fi

remove # from the two lines above and OO will work

Enjoy!

Not for me ... I get:

/usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/setup.bin: error while loading shared
libraries: libvcl645li.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory

when running ./setup as root

There is no such lib that I can find.

If I try to run oowriter I get:

Installation of OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 failed:
 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/ooo-1.1:/usr/lib/ooo-
1.1/program /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/setup -
R:/etc/openoffice/autoresponse.conf -v -nogui > ~/.openoffice-install-
log 2>&1'

(Word wrap ...)

Suggestions anyone?

Rob.

Not a suggestion really, but that library is located in the following
directories on my system:
/usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/widgets/original/
/usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/widgets/gtk/
/usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/widgets/kde/

And running "rpm -q --whatprovides" returns openoffice.org-1.1.2-1 for
all three occurrences of the file.

Changing the setup script as Scott mentioned did fix OpenOffice for me
as well.

You should not run setup directly as the soffice program sets some
variables necessary for setup to run.
