Another HUGE problem with SuSE 8.1

Saw this post on the alt.os.linux.suse newsgroup. Wondered "Can I open word documents?" Tried it and got the same exact message. WTF? Preston "Michael Toennes" wrote in message news:aomvre$9iu$02$1@news.t-online.com...

All,

exactly the same problem with my installation of OO. Linux 8.1, OO Standard installation... I am not able to open any document - be it MS doc or OO file format. Opening such a document will cause OO to crash. ("An Unrecoverable error has occured.")

I have thoroughly read all suggestions on this issue and none of them work for me. I wonder if any of you have solved it.

Rgds, Michael.
