confused Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Hello I have just installed Mandriva LE 2005 and found it excellent, however, I am having a problem with OpenOffice 1.4. I has installed, when installing whole system, and there are Icons for it, and it even load once, but since then it has steadfastly refused to load. When I click the icon or go into menu and click the small icon comes up saying it is loading then suddenly disappears and that is it!!!! The time it did load it took a long time. Can anyone help, please? Confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Have you tried reinstalling? Maybe something got messed up during the install. Shit happens p.s. I have no problems with OO-1.4 on my install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I only had problems because of my video card. Required OpenGL to be working before it'd be fine. Check /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the lines: Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection if not there, you can add them. Also, ensure Mesa is installed too.

Guest cardo Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Hello, I've got similar problem: after installation of LE 2005 I can't load oowriter as normal user: [mes@dhcppc0 ~]$ oowriter /usr/lib/openoffice/program/javaldx: libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.3' not found(required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6) /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin: libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.3' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6) [mes@dhcppc0 ~]$ gcc --version gcc (GCC) 3.3.4 (Mandrakelinux 10.2 3.3.4-4mdk) Copyright © 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. I can load oowriter if i start a session as a root. Also I can load soffice.bin as a normal user. In the directory /usr/lib/openoffice/program/ there is no such library as libgcc_s.so.1 and I tried to copy it from /lib but with no success (empty file is copied). Can anyone help?

devries Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I think there is something wrong with your install. The default gcc is version 3.4 on LE2005. How did you install Mandriva: with update or clean install? It's better to do a clean install. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cardo Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 At first I updated from 10.1 and had this problem, then I did install and formatted all partitions except /home , but the problem persisted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Try updating gcc or updating OOo. The default gcc is 3.4 and I have no problems (my OOo is 1.1.4-7). It will probably mean that the larger part of all your software need to be reinstalled but urpmi will take care of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cardo Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Thank you for help. I did a clean install formatting all partitions and OO now works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
