This happens because the openoffice startup script in FC1 and FC2 misdetects and does not co-exist well when programs like StarOffice7 are listed in ~/.sversionrc. I'm putting this on my TODO list... hmm, the existence of an OpenOffice.org1.1.0 in your home directory is probably the result of earlier bugs in the setup program. These should be fixed now fi you blow away your ~/.openoffice directory. Red Hat's OOo will always install stuff, when operating correctly, in ~/.openoffice. If not, there's a problem. Closing since this should be fixed. This is still an ugly issue for StarOffice7 installations, which can too easily cause the openoffice workstation install thing to start rather than the office suite. This is on my personal TODO list to solve. Warren, what are the exact problems of interop between SO7 and OOo? This one bit me today. Grrr. rm -rf ~/.openoffice worked for me. This is a FC1 system that has been upgraded over time, starting at 7.3 IIRC. This is occurring for me. My system was upgraded from Redhat 9 and previouly had the Ximian version of openoffice installed. All ximian rpm's were removed prior to the upgrade. Removing the .openoffice directory did not resolve the issue. Patching the oofice script as mentioned earlier in the bug report resolved the issue. I tried first installing a stock openoffice.org-1.1.3 and ran it and then afterwards installed and ran the FC3 update 1.1.2-11 rpms and all was well. Does this problem persist in FC2/FC3 or can it be closed now ? I think this is working fine now with FC2/FC3 updates. If it's still reproducable somehow let me know how and I'll have another look |
