Issue 6998

Thanks for Open Office!  Great work.

I have a problem though: it won't start! (Note: this does not seem to be a
duplicate of 4494)

I have installed as per the installation guide, first as root using ./install
--prefix=/usr/local, then done the phase 2 workstation install as a normal user.

As a normal user I cd to OpenOffice.org1.0.1 and execute ./soffice

The splash screen appears and then a dialogue box saying "an unrevoverable error
has occurred" and "All modified files have been saved" etc.

I click "OK" and "Aborted" is printed out in the shell.

I have tried putting "unset SESSION_MANAGER" in the first non-comment line of
the soffice script and starting gnome-session with

exec $HOME/garnome/bin/gnome-session --suicide-delay=0 --purge-delay=0
--warn-delay=0

This has no effect, so from this I conclude that it is not the same problem as

As you can see I am using the Gnome2 (2.0.1 RC 1) release.  Red Hat Linux 7.3,
glibc version 2.2.90

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  (I'm not sure that this is an
installation issue though...)

cheers
