Description Unknown 2001-09-15 15:10:26 UTC 
My system is Debian Potato 2.2 r3 with last updates:
libc6 2.1.3-19
XFree 3.3.6-11potato32
Kernel 2.2.18

1. Extracted archive to my ~/ directory
2. Running setup &:
        glibs 2.1.3
        setup GUI
        choosing 'standard installation'
        path /home/*/OpenOffice.org638
        Pressing 'Install' button and Setup program exiting...
'Segmentation fault'
        The only thing it have done is the once created directory 
OpenOffice.org638...

Second chance running as root and making same things took no effect - install 
program exits.. 'Segmentation fault'

Trying -net install...
Making same thing took effect!!!
Copying started!
But!!!!!
After -net install I need to install worstation files!!!
Base installation is on /root/OpenOffice.org638 
cd /root/OpenOffice.org638/program/ 
running setup
choosing 'Workstation installation', path of installation and got same 
segmentation fault error as in previous cases...
(I've tried to install files as root into root folder and my user one)

Trying to install local files logined as user:
/root/OpenOffice.org638/program$ ./setup
chosing 'Workstation installation'
got Segmentation fault......

I've downgraded from libc6 ver 2.2.* to release-specific version 2.1.3
Comment 2 Unknown 2001-09-15 15:25:42 UTC 
I've found that it is likely to be the same problem as 1473!
But my grafic card is Cirrus Logic 5446 GD - based and in has 2 Megs of memory...

JRE 1.3.3 installed and has no effect.
JRE installation dialog was not appeared and installation crashed.

I'll test this with 638c build and SO6.0b in near future.

Help me to debug this!

Hi Vladimir,
sorry for this late reaction.
I've tried with with a standard 2.2 without any updates. I've had no 
problems to install/open OOo. I cannot see what might cause the problem on your computer. Perhaps a standard debian 2.2 might solve
your problem.

I've used GDB to trace setup program:
gdb ./setup
...
run
...
trying to setup and getting crash
gdb output was someting like this: Exit (error) code 01
What does this code mean?

May be the problem is that I downgraded libc6 from 2.2.x to release-specific one? Maybe there are somr config incompatibility?
