Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 20868
Installation of OO1.1: OO doesn't start anymore!
Last modified: 2003-10-08 09:16:02 UTC
I had a working OpenOffice 1.0.1 version on my SuSE 8.1 Linux distribution. I waited till the final release of OpenOffice 1.1 was released and installed it with the help og the manual (german version). so i typed (as root) "./setup - net". The installation was successful, but it didn't ask me that there already was an old version of OpenOffice, so i installed it into the already existing folder "/opt/OpenOffice.org". After installation (and rebooting), i am not able to start OpenOffice anymore! When i click the icon on the (KDE) desktop, only the mouse pointer changes for some seconds. If i start it in a shell ("openoffice"), the following messages appear: /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/javaldx: /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/libsal.so.3: version `UDK_3.1' not found (required by /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/javaldx) /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/javaldx: /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/libsal.so.3: version `UDK_3.1' not found (required by /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/libjvmaccessgcc3.so.3) /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/soffice.bin: /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/libsal.so.3 : version `UDK_3.1' not found (required by /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/soffice.bin) /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/soffice.bin: /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/libsal.so.3 : version `UDK_3.1' not found (required by /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/libvcl645li.so) /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/soffice.bin: /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/libsal.so.3 : version `UDK_3.1' not found (required by /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/libsvl645li.so) /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/soffice.bin: /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/libsal.so.3 : version `UDK_3.1' not found (required by /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/libsvt645li.so) /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/soffice.bin: /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/libsal.so.3 : version `UDK_3.1' not found (required by /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/libpsp645li.so) /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/soffice.bin: /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/libsal.so.3 : version `UDK_3.1' not found (required by /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/libjvmaccessgcc3.so.3) how can i get a working OpenOffice now?
Installing OOo 1.1.0 over an existing 1.0.x doesn't work! Dont expect OOo to work. Making a clean install off 1.1.0 and you will see that it works. OOo isn't also responsible for the versions distributed by other, e.g. Suse. They have their owns scrips that are not supported by OOo. See issue 20849.
Not a bug.
