I hope I am not yet bothering you with my questions ;-). Today is my "I want to get all those Linux goddies working" day :-). I have tried to install Staroffice 5.1A for Linux now. With linux_base 6.1, not even the setup program worked. As I read the warning that linux_base 6.1 may not work properly on -STABLE, I have backed out linux_base 6.1 and installed linux_base 5.2 (which comes with FreeBSD 3.4). I had a Redhat 5.2 CD at hand, luckily :-). With this, the installation started successfully. I followed the guidelines and Howtos that I found here and on the Web. No matter which variation I went, all those recipes that involved calling "./setup /net", i.E. a multiuser installation, worked without problems, but when I, as a user, then (after the personal installation) started "soffice" (the proper one from /usr/local/lib/Office51/bin), it just starts the installation program which tells me that "/home/tobi/Office51/sofficerc" cannot be found and that I should try to repair it. However that file is present and looks valid. I examined .sversionrc, Office51/sofficerc, and all the scripts, and they looked right - but I was simply not able to start Staroffice. Then I tried another howto, available at http://www.serv.net/~mcglk/staroffice-install.html. This recipe involves doing a normal installation (without /net) parameter, and provides a shell script that each user can run, which transmogrifies the single-user installation into a multiuser one, i.E. the script copies some files from th=F6e installation location into the home directory and then starts Staroffice. This way, it worked, i.E. I effectively got a multiuser installation, could start Staroffice and work with it. However, it has the one problem, which is also documented in this recipe, that upon startup, I get an error message telling me that the "PluginManager" could not be loaded. After all I have read, this error is due to a wrong applicat.rdb. The only problem is - I have patched my applicat.rdb, it now shows the right checksum, but the damn thing still doesn't work. I even re-installed and patched applicat.rdb right after the first "./setup" run, but it did not help either. I get some other error messages like these when running Staroffice (e.g. when using the AutoPilot), which probably are related to the first one. Do you have any suggestions?
