From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Applications in the koffice suite require libraries that are only provided by koffice-devel. For example: [joe@localhost ~]$ kword kword: error while loading shared libraries: libkofficecore.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [joe@localhost ~]$ yum provides libkofficecore.so.2 ... koffice-devel.i386 4:1.3.5-0.FC3.1 updates-releasedMatched from: /usr/lib/libkofficecore.so.2 Installing koffice-devel allows the applications to run. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): koffice-1.3.5-0.FC3.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install koffice without koffice-devel 2. Try to run a koffice application, like kword Actual Results: kword: error while loading shared libraries: libkofficecore.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Expected Results: No error, application starts. Additional info:
The symlinks such libkofficecore.so.2 will be created after you install or update the koffice package. It's not needed to install koffce-devel package! It's strange that such links are missing on your system. To resolve this problem, please do "/sbin/ldconfig -v" as root, all the missing symlinks will be created.
