can you from a terminal do gdb /usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice.bin (gdb) run (gdb) bt and post in the results. Do you have a nvidia graphics card and are using the "nvidia" graphic driver ?
Probably bug 160290 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 160290 ***
Hello: Sorry I was moving and have not had a chance to get back. I did not find the other bug posting when searching (please forgive me) Yes you are correct it really is not a bug but a residue file left from the Nvidia 8178 drivers. Which I apparently installed. Thought I only used the livna rpm. deleted the shared 8178 library and the links and error is gone. Dan
