[porting seemed about the closest match, since things used to



work under Solaris 8 . . . ]











environment:









	Solaris 9 (9/02, with 'recommended' patch cluster




	applied)









	Patches 111711-02 and 111712-02 (Solaris 9 shared




	library patches for C++ [32 and 64 bit]; these are




	one rev updated from those in the recommended patch




	cluster)









	CDE









	OpenOffice 1.0.1









	Ultra 5/270 PGX









OO will not start in the environment noted above; this applies



to either trying with the CDE icons or via the command line;



nothing is written to /var/adm/messages about it








Running 'soffice' from the command line via truss, with truss'




output redirected to a file, gives the splash screen for a few




seconds, then all traces of soffice vanish.














Some experimenting with a few of the individual components




(started from the command line) has shown:









	scalc




	    - w/o truss - splash for a few seconds, then




	      "abort" written to the starting window




	    - w/truss - splash, then truss shows poll/time/yield




	      loop (for as long as I care to wait)









	smath




	    - w/o truss - splash for a few seconds, then




	      appears to start (get frame with the appropriate




	      buttons, etc), but then immediately get window




	      with error message with title "OpenOffice 1.0.1"




	      and text "An unrecoverable error has occurred.




	      All modified files have been saved and can




	      probably be recovered at program restart"; program




	      then either waits on the 'ok' to be pushed, or may




	      spontaneously abort




	    - w/truss - splash, smath window, then spontaneous




	      abort









	sfax




	    - w/o truss -goes through creation screens ok, but




	      then aborts









	sdraw




	    - w/o truss - splash, get partially-complete sdraw




	      window, but no interaction possible; just hangs




	      until killed




	    - w/truss - spalsh, full sdraw window, spontaneous




	      abort









	simpress




	    - w/o truss - splash, goes through creation screens,




	      then aborts




	    - w/truss - same












let me know if you want the truss log for any of these
