Description Unknown 2002-06-20 18:41:33 UTC 
Aborts with this error message every time.

I18N: X Window System doesn't support locale 
"LC_CTYPE=en_GB@euro;LC_NUMERIC=en_GB@euro;LC_TIME=en_GB@euro;LC_COLLATE=C;LC_MONETARY=en_GB@euro;LC_MESSAGES=en_GB@euro;LC_PAPER=en_GB@euro;LC_NAME=en_GB@euro;LC_ADDRESS=en_GB@euro;LC_TELEPHONE=en_GB@euro;LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GB@euro;LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_GB@euro"
Aborted

My system is an Athlon 700 /512MB. XFree 4.2, kde3, SuSE 7.2, and this is the 
first time I've installed OpenOffice.org
Comment 1 Olaf Felka 2002-07-18 15:38:23 UTC 
Does it still occure when the locale is changed to en_US.ISO-8859-1?
Comment 2 Olaf Felka 2002-07-29 10:53:54 UTC 
Please give me a step by step instruction. Ican't reproduce this problem.

At least a few other people have run into this.  For instance,
http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/blfs-support/2002/08/0568.html
Looking at the source code, this error happens when
XSupportsLocale() returns false. 
It's easy to reproduce, too.  Just set LANG to a locale not
supported by your system.
 
Setting the environment variable LANG to the value C and
launching OpenOffice via the commandline 
should give you an emergency workaround.  e.g.
  LANG=C soffice

Please try updating to a newer version of Suse -- there's
some chance it's a glibc bug or installation issue.
If you can reproduce it with OpenOffice1.1beta and an
updated Suse, please file a new issue.
