StarOffice/OpenOffice have one main install location (per machine) and one
'client' install (per user).  (They don't use the word 'client', but I can't
think of the correct name one right now.)

/opt/OpenOffice.org/ is the shared install point.  Whenever a user starts
OpenOffice for the first time, OpenOffice gets installed in that users
directory ~/OpenOffice/.  This directory contains about 2mb (as apposed to
the full version in /opt/OpenOffice.org, which is somewhere between
100-300mb).  This is where users-specific stuff is stored, kind of like a
profile.  If you look at ~/OpenOffice/soffice, it's just a symbolic link
back to /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/soffice.

I'm not sure what is wrong.  You could try removing your OOO profile.  

rm -rf ~/OpenOffice

You should probably back it up or move it, rather than deleting it.)

If that doesn't work.  Make sure you don't have the associations messed up.
Take a look at these files:  ~/.kde/share/mimelnk/application/vnd.sun.xml.*

Hope that helps,

- Lowell

Subject: [SLE] RE: OpenOffice error


I have OpenOffice 1.0.1 installed and when opening ppt
files I'm getting non recoverable error and simpress
crashes. What I found out is that this happens when i
open Konqueror and click on the file ...this way
simpress is being run from
/opt/OpenOffice.org/program/. If I open up simpress
from ~/OpenOffice/program everything is fine and I can
open any ppt file with no problem.

OpenOffice has menu shortcuts ran from
/opt/OpenOffice/program by default so is this some
bug? Why it is being installed on two different
places?

I'd like to also upgrade to 1.0.3 but don't have SuSE
rpm just OOO tarball. How should I do it?

Martin
