Re: Latest AOO on Fedora 27 x86_64
No worries. The missing lib is now installed and all is well! And yes, you CAN invoke soffice from the command line, as long as the DT is running.

Re: Latest AOO on Fedora 27 x86_64
JD, Are you trying to run AOO from a shell command line or in an xterm inside your desktop? If the former, keep in mind AOO requires a desktop (xfce, kde, etc) to run under (unless you are trying to run as "headless"). I don't know what AOO will do running from a shell command line without a desktop and without the headless option. I checked my Slackware Linux system and there is no soffice symlink in /usr/bin. I did find a /usr/bin/openoffice4 script which runs /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice "$@". So you might try running /usr/bin/openoffice4 instead of /usr/bin/soffice. Try running openoffice4 from an xterm in your desktop and see if there are any messages spit out on the xterm. If so, the message may give you a hint. HTH.

Maybe this thread will help you: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=91704&p=436895#p436875 It looks like "gdk-pixbuf2-xlib" is missing on your system (for whatever reason).

Latest AOO on Fedora 27 x86_64
Hi all, 1. I first UNINSTALLED LibreOffice, only to find 2 mate desktop packages depend on some libreoffice package. So, now I have something slightly broken in my dnf database. 2. In downloaded AOO, and I installed it without any problems. 3. from the command line, I executed /usr/bin/soffice which is a symlink to /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice 4. Nothing happens. NOTHING Waited for many minutes. Nothing!!! So, what do you suggest I do?
