Broken OOo

[Charles Curley]

My FC2 installation of OpenOffice.org from tarball (not RPMs) broke in
the last several days. It worked Friday. Then, over the weekend, I
installed and then erased gnopernicus:

07/16/04 20:49:59 Installed: gnopernicus 0.8.1-2.i386
07/16/04 20:49:59 Dep Installed: gnome-speech 0.3.2-2.i386
07/16/04 20:49:59 Dep Installed: gnome-mag 0.10.10-2.i386
07/16/04 21:06:59 Erased: gnome-mag 0.10.10-2.i386
07/16/04 21:06:59 Erased: gnome-speech 0.3.2-2.i386
07/16/04 21:06:59 Erased: gnopernicus 0.8.1-2.i386

Today, Monday, I got the following error message when loading a
document into OpenOffice.org:

[ccurley at teckla ccurley]$ sh: line 1: lpc: command not found
Fatal: Stack size too small. Use 'java -Xss' to increase default stack size.
/usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/program/crash_report.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
 
[1]+  Segmentation fault      OpenOffice.org1.1.0/soffice


I may have fixed the libpng issue by CDing to /usr/lib/ and making a
symlink:

ln -s libpng.so.3.1.2.5  libpng.so

But that might have been the wrong thing to do.

In any case, while I no longer get the missing library message, OOo
still crashes, and I still get the other error messages.

Re-installing gnopernicus makes no difference.

[root at teckla root]# locate libpng
/usr/lib/libpng.so
/usr/lib/libpng.so.3
/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0
/usr/lib/libpng.so.2.1.0.15
/usr/lib/libpng.so.3.1.2.5
/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0.1.2.5
/usr/lib/libpng.so.2
...


[root at teckla root]# pre png
libpng-1.2.5-5
libpng10-1.0.15-5

I don't know what's going on with lpc. That is a root-only program, at
/usr/sbin/lpc, so a user shouldn't see it anyway.
