What version of OpenOffice? rpm -q openoffice
[plong@localhost plong]$ rpm -q openoffice openoffice-1.0.1-8 Also, installing java does not help at all. Does open office depend on some of 2.5 kernel threading backport that you did? I installed phoebe on a Shuttle SN41 (nForce2 board) and had to install a less patched kernel to get some of the drivers to work. I'm using the red planet kernel. http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ I ask becuase there There seems to be a thread problem: [plong@localhost plong]$ gdb /usr/lib/openoffice/program/setup.bin GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (5.3post-0.20021129.7rh) Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Please retry with current rawhide openoffice (1.0.2-2) and glibc (2.3.1-46+). Our openoffice doesn't use Java at all, so it is expected installing Java doesn't change a bit.
It works now with the rawhide packages.
Thanks for your prompt testing and feedback. Closing as fixed in RAWHIDE.
