Dennis, thank you for using and supporting OOo. Which version of Linux are you using? How did you install OOo ( multi-user followed by workstation )? Does your distribution provide a prepackaged version of OOo? If so, please uninstall your current version and install the distribution version and see if the problem still exists.
linux: RH8 RH8 comes with OO 1.0.1 installed. It didn't work hence this bug. I downloaded and installed 1.0.1 see http://www.dennisgdaniels.com/phpwiki/index.php/installing%20open%20office for how I installed it. which has since produced http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9806 If I need to uninstall 'stuff' please provide the exact commands that will remove all of the offending OO files and directories. thank you! dgd
Dennis, it is a known issue that the stock binary provided at OpenOffice.org does not run on RH 8.0. Please use the RPMs provided by RH 8.0. In general, removing the directory where OOo is stored as well as any .userdb60 and .sversionrc files should work. Your best option is to post this question and your specifics to the users mailing list.

Dennis, try using the RH CD's, checking the RH site for all the RPM's that you need or posting a message to the users mailing list. RH OOo requires more than just one RPM. http://www.redhat.com/apps/download/results.html?search:start=320 Unfortunately, we cannot provide installation support via IZ.
Reasigned to US
us->prgmgr: I don't know about an "issue that the stock binary provided at OpenOffice.org does not run on RH 8.0". us->of: do you have any information on this? Anyway, the bug states: "RH8 comes with OO 1.0.1 installed. It didn't work hence this bug." As already pointed out before: we can not and will not do any support for any Linux distributor, who packaged OOo. These packages are not provided by us, thus blame the distributor for any occuring problems. I suggest to close this issue and file a new one, if the installsets provided by us do not run on RH.
I know that we have had problems with config files in old versions. Current OOo versions (even 1.0.1) don't refer to ~/user/work. I think this is a problem of the rpm file.
