please try some tests: (1) remove prelink package and/or terminate any prelinking then rerun or re-install without prelink. i dont have that package here but the command is something like prelink -n from memory. (2) please report the output from uname -m (3) report running file on libsal: cd /usr/lib/openoffice/program (or where it lives) file libsal.so.3 thanks jim On Tue, Sep 21, 2004 at 11:40:59AM -0400, Chris Ricker wrote: > Package: openoffice.org > Version: 1.1.2-4 > Severity: grave > Justification: renders package unusable > > When I try to run openoffice, I get a segfault during startup. > > The splash screen appears, the main OpenOffice.org screen is drawn, then > a dialog box which displays the following error appears: > > An unrecoverable error has occurred. > All modified files have been saved and can probably be recovered at > program restart. > > This happens every time I run it, and even if I remove .openoffice and > ..sversionrc first. > > This might be the same as bug #268587, but the traces, how it crashes, > etc. appear to be different.... > > kaboom@ultra2:~$ openoffice > OpenOffice.org for Debian - see > /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.Debian.gz > running openoffice.org setup... > Setup complete.
