javaldx was complaining about a gcc component in OpenFOAM.

I knew there was something wrong with it, but not what it was exactly.

You should instead set that variable only for those programs related to 
that OpenFOAM thing, and leave the rest of the system intact - or you will 
hit more problems related to it. It is bad for a program to set that 
variable globally and f*k the system. I would report that as a bug to 
OpenFOAM folks.

Problem sorted. OpenFOAM includes initialisation of a variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH which was pointing to the wrong gcc libraries (for
OpenOffice, that is). I have edited the ooffice script to unset this
variable temporarily so as to be able to run ooffice without it getting
confused.

Thanks guys!

OpenFOAM is an open source CFD (computational fluid dynamics) code I
use. I really can't see that it should be involved in this anywhere.
However it does occur to me that its installation involves installing a
version of gcc, and it may be that ooffice is getting confused about
libraries somewhere along the line. Does that sound reasonable?

No ; ooffice seems to start OpenOffice. Soffice generates the same error
(but does not even get as far as the introductory banner).

I wondered if one was an alias for the other, but they seem to be
different executables. I'm confused although this might account for
the fact that when I reinstalled OpenOffice from RPM's, nothing seemed
to change.

Wait a sec., the binary programname for OO is NOT oofice, rather it's soffice!

The problem is not OOo, but "OpenFOAM". What is that? It doesn't come from 
openSuSE 10.2. Investigate that program, it is requesting the gcc compiler 
to build something, and that's not the business of OOo.

Can't go wrong with that advice, but the only thing I would add is to
switch to 'smart' for package management. Once you add the useful set of
repositories it leaves yast for dead and will 'smartly' resolve and
dependency issue like you saw with OO.o  If unsure, google for 'smart'
on suse.

I put it in as part of my clean install of the system, from the OpenSUSE
install DVD.. I did try installing it as an RPM from OpenOffice
directly, but I'm not sure if it installed correctly; certainly it gave
the same error afterwards. (I can try again!)

[opensuse] Ooffice startup error

2007-04-30 Thread Dr Gavin Tabor
Dear All,

I've recently installed OpenSUSE 10.2. Everything now works ... sort
of ... except Open Office. When I start that (as an ordinary user) I get
the following error:

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>ooffice
/usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program/javaldx:

found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)

** (process:8478): WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary /

Surprisingly, if I start ooffice when logged on as root, it starts fine.
Any suggestions about what I might be doing wrong with this?
