Installation success, but soffice fails to start program

Install goes without any complaints, but when I ./soffice the splash screen comes up but then it disappears and is replaced with a pop-up error message saying: "An unrecoverable error has occured; all modified files have been saved." Interesting, as I've yet to run OO once yet. Using: RedHat linux 8.0 i686 arch; 700Mhz intel(coppermine) processor I followed the install directions to a T from: http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/instructions.html (Linux setup) Here is a portion of the setup.log that shows some errors that I do not understand: from initial setup: pOK substitue: /home/markus/.gnome/apps/OpenOffice.org 1.0.1/mathdoc.desktop filesize (limit 32k): 705 , 6/26/02, 6:00:00 AM, „, FSysError = 0 error: RegistryItemAction::Execute() called error: RegistryItemAction::Execute() called error: RegistryItemAction::Execute() called error: RegistryItemAction::Execute() called error: RegistryItemAction::Execute() called error: RegistryItemAction::Execute() called OK make shortcut /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0/program/setup to /home/markus/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/setup OK make shortcut /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0/program/soffice to /home/markus/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/soffice OK make shortcut /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0/program/soffice to /home/markus/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/spadmin OK set profile item: file:///home/markus/.sversionrc, Versions, OpenOffice.org 1.0.1, file:///home/markus/OpenOffice.org1.0.1 Errors = 6 Here I try and do a repair: Begin Installation ----------- Mode : Workstation (Recover only) Date/Time: 10/29/02 6:14:15 PM OK mkdir /home/markus/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/share/dict/ooo OK OK chmod /home/markus/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/share/dict/ooo 755 OK mkdir /home/markus/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/share/samples/english OK OK chmod /home/markus/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/share/samples/english 755 OK mkdir /home/markus/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/share/autocorr OK OK chmod /home/markus/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/share/autocorr 755 error: RegistryItemAction::Execute() called error: RegistryItemAction::Execute() called error: RegistryItemAction::Execute() called error: RegistryItemAction::Execute() called error: RegistryItemAction::Execute() called error: RegistryItemAction::Execute() called ERR make shortcut /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0/program/setup to /home/markus/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/setup ERR make shortcut /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0/program/soffice to /home/markus/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/soffice ERR make shortcut /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0/program/soffice to /home/markus/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/spadmin OK set profile item: file:///home/markus/.sversionrc, Versions, OpenOffice.org 1.0.1, file:///home/markus/OpenOffice.org1.0.1 ERR FAILURE in CONFIGMGR: CONFIGURATION: Update Violates Constraint: Group Member Update: Node is read-only !

Markus, thank you for using and supporting OOo. This is a known issue. The workaround is to install OOo 1.0.1 from RPMs that RedHat provides. The unstable developer build 643 installs on RH 8.0. Developer builds are for testing purposes only. See issue 8698 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 8698 ***
