Following a reinstall of 8.2, I cannot get OpenOffice to start - the terminal window on the first start complains of a segmentation fault. I tied uninstalling it with YaST and then replacing it with the latest version (1.0.3) tarball. On running "./install --prefix=/opt" it returns to the prompt after a second or two, with no messages, and no installation has taken place.
Interestingly enough, I downloaded the StarOffice 6.1 beta the other day and it won't install either.The installation window comes up for a couple of seconds, then disappears.
David, this is a noted problem....NOT widespread, but is noted. From what I can determine, this happens occasionally with upgrades. The ONLY way I could fix it, was to do a fresh install, INCLUDING my /home partitian......format all and reinstall.
