BTW : I already discovered an error in my guidance above : The command is - of course - *./setup -net* as root and *./setup* as user. (Because *setup* is not in the path, but issued from the current directory).

Re: [newbie] What did I do wrong with StarOffice 6 - solved
I saw DrewMartin's got a similiar problem with oo. I added line unset SESSION_MANAGER in swriter-script, and voilá: it wuks grate! Life is wunderbar! (pity I didn't read it in the first place...) OllimaX! Congratulations Ollimax - I did'nt know that ! As you have just demonstrated, all roads leads to Rome, and in Linux there are roads all over the place. Kaj Haulrich. Actually, I was wondering last night how did I ever stood alive for all these years with this intelligence of Winnie the Pooh!!! After my cheerful message about the solved problem I found out that I was still a root. Logged in as an ordinary user and tried again:no Star Office! I kicked the cat and went to bed. Anyway, I'll try these other suggestions when I get my computer back from the pawnshop, and tell you how will I succeed then. regards, Ollimax, who is quite pissed off right now!

If you have run it first as root it should have set up a user directory for you. OTOH, if something you have done has foobarred that, it will give you headaches, so I suggest that you look for the hidden file .openoffice and rename it .ooOld, or similar, then try to start up again as a user. It should create a new one for you. Anne Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] What did I do wrong with StarOffice 6
Hi! I have a Mdk9.0 installed, and while installing the system I also installed the StarOffice6 . When I try to launch, let's say 'swriter' in /usr/lib/staroffice/programs , otherwise than root, it just doesn't start. If I write the command in shell, I am told about asegmentation fault. What should I do to make all users being able to use StarOffice? Thanks in advance, OllimaX! Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
