[SuSE Linux] StarOffice 5.0 and SuSE 5.3 - Step By Step ?
Here's my experience, step by step. Take so50_01.tar.gz and un-compress in your home sub-directory as ~/so50 . Then go to ~/so50/glibc2_inst and as su root, run ./soprep and put the files in /opt/Office50/lib when asked. (I edited /etc/ld.so.conf and added /opt/Office50/lib already.) Then I exit and run ./setup from ~/so50/office50_inst and my prompt dissappears for a few seconds comes back and nothing ? What exactly else should I be doing to get setup to work ?

Thanks I ran setup in X, after setting up the libs, cause the installation is graphical, the setup routine is similar to Win95's install shield, you'll get a type of graphical menu. I never ran it from the console, maybe

The fix for them was to switch X servers temporarily to SVGA install SO5, download the patch, apply it and then switch back to SV3. Is there a way you can test to make sure it's not a hardware issue or a software issue that relates to the X Server itself 'getting along' with SO5 ? Or even contact them to make sure it's not some problem it's having with Accel X +/- your particular video card setup. At this point, it might be a good idea to give 'em a call and see if someone that actually works with/at Stardivision, can advise you on why you are getting the segfault, or see if there's someone you know--perhaps on this list-- or elsewhere with a similar setup to what you have and see if they are experiencing the same issues. I'm sorry. I know this must be rather frustrating for you...right now, I'm frankly as stumped as you are. -M - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

I got a similar reaction, except that I also got a message about not being ableto create various icons. People at Star Office said it was probably the graphics (Matrox G200 AGP) card...They are working on it

Well I have the same card. Wonderful card and SO 5.0 would look great under it. -Dee - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Thanks for posting this, Richard. I figured the problem was related to the video card or the Server and their support/lack of proper support by SO5...based on some stuff I'd been seeing on different lists. I had a supported card, so never had occasion to encounter the problems you and others are experiencing with Matrox. -M - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
