Hi, I can reproduce this with latest updates in Fedora Core 3. I've looked around, and found that this is bug 284096 in Debian Bugzilla (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=284096), a fix/workaround is available there, plus all explanation of what causes the bug and the true fix blah die blah (the bug is apparently cups-related...). To make the fix work, download http://people.debian.org/~halls/openoffice/test/libpsp645li.so.bz2, bunzip2 it and move the resulting file to /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/programs/ (backup your old file just to be sure), symlink the fedora version of libstlport_gcc.so in that same directory to the name the Debian binary expects (ln -s libstlport_gcc.so libstlport_gcc.so.4.6) and OO.o will work again. Bit hacky, but hey, it works as long as there's no new packages. Cheers, Ronald

Created attachment 112701 [details] the patch to fix this
caolanm->dcbw: You want to add this patch to an FC-2/FC-3 update?, if not bounce it back and I'll fumble through it.
I'll roll them in
Will be fixed in 1.1.3-10
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
