Description prgmgr 2002-10-25 02:05:16 UTC 
Hello OF.  Hope all is going well.

RedHat 8.0 ( Developer install options, OOo 1.0.1 RPMs not installed )
OOo 1.0.1 tarballs from OpenOffice.org
IBM ThinkPad T21

As root:
1  Download OOo 1.0.1 from OpenOffice.org
2  tar xfz OOo_1.0.1_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz
3  cd install
4  ./setup -net
   Install to /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0.1

As ooo101 user:
1  cd /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0.1
2  ./setup
   Install to ~ooo101/OpenOffice.org1.0.1
3  cd ~ooo101/OpenOffice.org1.0.1
4  ./soffice

Generic error message:

"An unrecoverable error has occurred
 All modified files have been saved and can probably be recovered at
 program restart"

md5sum is ok.


Same results occur if root part of install is run using "install" shell
script wrapper

I'm not shure wether this is an OOo 1.0.1 issue: 1.0.1 has been
dropped before RH8.0. As you have written, OOo 643 is running fine.

Comment 3 prgmgr 2002-10-25 18:59:10 UTC 
Duplicated with the following:

1  Install stock RH 8.0 with the "Personal desktop(?)" option.
2  Download OOo 1.0.1 and verify with md5sum.  All is ok.
3  Run ./setup -net
   Setup runs fine.
4  Log in as user, run workstation install.
   Setup runs fine.
5  Run soffice from workstation install directory.
   OOo does not start, gives the error message in the previous
   comment.
   At the command prompt, there is an "Aborted" message.


I forgot to mention that setup detects:

glibc 2.2.93
Comment 4 prgmgr 2002-10-25 19:02:20 UTC 
Here's one way to handle this issue:

1  Leave issue in the queue as a known issue.
2  List the workaround as "install from RH RPMs".
3  Wait for the next release of OOo as the fix.

I would classify this as an OOo problem, since I was installing from
the stock OOo build ( from OpenOffice.org ).

However, I think the next release is just around the door, so I don't
think it's worth the effort to fix/isolate the issue, especially since
RH 8.0 provides RPMs that work.
Comment 5 Olaf Felka 2002-10-28 09:08:37 UTC 
How should we prevent an OOo version from 'bugs' when the OS wasn't
released when OOo comes out?

Let's see wether the next OOo release still have the same problem.
