Description Unknown 2002-01-18 17:19:45 UTC 
I am unable to install the latest build binary release on my linux slackware 8...



I ungzipped/untarred the file, and when I run the 'setup' in the 'install' directory, it first displays 'glibc version: 2.2.3', then a nice percentage bar is displayed which runs to the end. After that, it just quits. No core dumps, no messages, no nothing. I've tried this both as a normal and as root user.



Xfree used: Xfree86-4.1

Kernel release: 2.4.17

Video card is a Neomagic (using the neomagic xfree driver)

I'm running kde2.2.1.

Oops, got the attachment in before the explanatory ppost, here's what
I meant to go in at the same time:

Same thing here using RH 7.2 w/updates.

It properly echos "glibc version: 2.2.4" to the screen.

strace hints at bad foo going on in the background but being trapped
(tail of strace output attached), a missing "sorev" file, followed by:

wait4(2176, [WIFSIGNALED(s) && WTERMSIG(s) == SIGSEGV &&
WCOREDUMP(s)], 0, NULL)  = 2176

FWIW, I am running Windowmaker 0.7, and issue 2574 shows the same
symptoms, I have not yet verified if things do work happily under a
different window manager.

Aha - the install goes smoothly if I'm running twm instead of
WindowMaker, so for me at least this issue is the same as issue 2574.

Running under twm works after the installation.

Running under WindowMaker makes a segfault, looks like soffice is
assuming something Gnomey about my environment which isn't there.  I'm
am old fashioned person who's happy with just a window manager, so
there is no gnome to attach to.

Note - 638c installs and runs happily with WindowMaker though.

backtrace from gdb of soffice.bin follows -
