The symptoms you have are exactly the same as I had the first time around, and others have experienced them too. As reported, they went away for me after a reinstall and adding the directory to my default PATH in .profile. However, there have been one or two reports of people who, like you, can't get past this problem even with PATH correctly set, and even after reinstall. Others have also noted an option of something like "fix install" upon restarting the installation script, but I never saw this. This has helped some people. Also, someone else has reported modifying the soffice script (its not a binary) to add the path to Office50/bin in the script itself. I'm guessing that the symptom you have is that SO50 is not finding some files it needs, but I'm not positive. You might also check permissions and ownership of your SO50 files too. Bottom line, I don't really have a 100% solution to this problem. -- Richard Seamman, Jr. email: dick@tar.com 5182 N.
