System (Linux, libc 2.3.3, java 1.4.2)
1. Remove old OO installation & user files & directory.
2. Install OO from RPM (I use Linux) as root (I can't install rpm as user).
3. Run OO as user -> Internal Aplication Error.
4. Run OO as root -> good result.
5. Remove $HOME/.OpenOffice.org.1.9.62
6. Run OO as user -> Internal Aplication Error.
7. Run OO as root -> good result.
8. chown -R user.user $HOME/.OpenOffice.org.1.9.62

Comment 5 Olaf Felka 2005-01-13 12:13:11 UTC 
How did you log in as root?
Comment 6 yuri_hramov 2005-01-13 12:27:26 UTC 
sudo rpm -ivh openofficeorg*.rpm
Comment 7 Olaf Felka 2005-01-13 13:42:14 UTC 
I would assume that your sudo settings allow the root user to create the
.OpenOfficexxx folder in $HOME of the user who should use the application.
Without  appropriate user rights in this folder OOo can't work.
Comment 8 yuri_hramov 2005-01-13 13:49:59 UTC 
I think this too. See points 5-9.
Comment 9 Olaf Felka 2005-01-13 13:54:59 UTC 
Ok, I think we should bring up something that is more gracefull than an "Error
Internal Application error".
Comment 10 yuri_hramov 2005-01-13 14:07:39 UTC 
If you need my help, I need detail instruction of my actions.
Comment 11 yuri_hramov 2005-02-16 08:26:53 UTC
