Hi there,
after experimenting the whole day, I have not yet come to a conclusion
about the cause of a runtime problem I have been experiencing with
ooRexx 4.0.1 on 32- and 64-bit Ubuntu:
* when requiring "UNO.CLS" which requires other Rexx packages
itself, an error along the following lines occurs:
o
r...@ronylinux:/opt/BSF4ooRexx/install$ rexx /usr/bin/UNO.CLS
318 *-* ::requires UNO_XINTERFACES.RXO -- get the list of all
of UNO XInterface classes
EX0003E: Error 3 running /usr/bin/UNO.CLS line 318: Failure during
initialization
EX0200E: Error 3.1: Failure during initialization: File
"/usr/bin/UNO_XINTERFACES.RXO" is unreadable
r...@ronylinux:/opt/BSF4ooRexx/install$
* it seems to be positional, i.e. if changing the requires statement
to "::requires "rgf_utli2.rex" then the same error occurs but now
relating to "rgf_util2.rex" !
* this error occurs whenever Rexx programs requiring UNO.CLS are
invoked from the command line using the "rexx" executable. Running
programs requiring UNO.CLS via the OpenOffice macro menu works!
* all rights on the scripts are set to 755 (rwxr-xr-x), they reside
in "/usr/bin" (as a matter of fact, it does not matter where they
reside and whether they are owned by root or by the user who
executes the scripts).
I have not been able to create a standalone test-set which would exhibit
this behaviour on Linux, unfortunately. :(
Therefore a request for help/ideas to solve this puzzling problem!
This would be needed to recreate the problem as I have been facing it:
* get Ubuntu,
* uninstall the Ubuntu-OOo via synaptic manager (they tamper with
the genuine OpenOffice, unfortunately, harming the Java interface
to OOo, which is exploited by BSF4ooRexx),
* get the matching genuine OOo package by pointing your browser
(from within Linux) to:
<http://download.openoffice.org/index.html>, this will place the
genuine OOo installation package that matches your installation on
top, download it, unpack and install it (to install change into
the DEB directory and issue: ""
* get the installation package of BSF4ooRexx from this particular
location:
<http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/rgf/rexx/bsf4oorexx/archive/2010/2010-08-16/BSF4ooRexx%5finstall%2ezip>
o unzip it, change into "bsf4oorexx/install" and run
"install.sh"; this will copy the entire package to
"/opt/BSF4ooRexx" and proceed from
"/opt/BSF4ooRexx/install/" where the installation and
uninstall scripts get created
o after the installation BSF4ooRexx got installed, and now you
need to install the OOo support by running
"/opt/BSF4ooRexx/install/reinstall.sh"
+ currently it is possible that "unopkg" is not
successfully carried out, due to a leftover lock file
in "~/.openoffice/3/.lock"
+ locate and delete that lock-file, then run "sudo
/opt/BSF4ooRexx/install/installOOo.sh"
+ check by starting the OOo writer, go to "Tools ->
Macros -> Run" and pick the "HelloWorld" example from
the "OpenOffice/ooRexxExamples" macro folder.
* best logoff and logon again (this makes sure that from that point
on "/etc/profile" is honored which sets up the environment for
BSF4ooRexx; this allows one to start BSF4ooRexx scripts also by
double-clicking via the desktop interface of Linux).
Now, if you open a command line window and go into
"/opt/BSF4ooRexx/install" and run "rexx testOOo.rxo" you should get the
above mentioned error!
Hopefully, you can find a workaround or the cause of this error, which
is a showstopper right now for the Linux platform.
TIA,
