Suse 7.1 KDE 2.1.1 XF864.0.3 I had this problem. Star Office had a problem with shared libraries. I uninstalled the base package and so_en, rebooted, then installed them again. Star Office started ok. Brian Marr On Thursday 28 June 2001 07:23, you wrote:

Try this:

Go to YaST1 and try to install a package (pick one, you will cancel installation anyway) Then look at the output of YaST concerning "dependencies", it might just be that it tells you what's missing to run SO properly.

Did that a couple of times. Installed so-base, so-en, and java. There are no more dependencies there. Anyway, thanks for responding.

I **never** had problems making SO running... 6.1, 6.3, 6.4, 7.0 and 7.1

I never used it, but now have no other option. And it does not work. I am afraid it is some stale file in /tmp or /var, I wish I knew what.

Hope it helps,

1) try removing the user52.rdb file

Did that, was able to install it again (workstation install) but when try to fire up the real thing then, no go again, same error message.

2) do what I did download the latest Soffice from Suns website

I really don't know if it worth it. I will look for the way to transfer Applixware from my home machine -Kastus
