Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 94050
10.5.5 Breaks OOo
Last modified: 2008-10-17 13:32:23 UTC
Loaded the new MacOSX 10.5.5 update - OOo will not start any more. It looks a lot like the JRE timeout issue, but even with X11 (the new one - 2.1.5, i am unable to get OOo to start at all. Tried backing out 2.4.1 and restore 2.4.0 - same issue. I am on a 2.8 GHz intel iMac with 2 GB memory and have been using OOo since i got this machine and for a few years on the G4 PowerBook which preceded it. Use for word processing and spreadsheets almost exclusively.

I have run into the same issue and tried both Ooo 2.3.0 and 2.4.1 after upgrading Mac OS X. Intel platform, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.33 GHz, 3 GB memory, Mac OS X 10.5.5 (9F33).
bug not java-related, but caused the X11 update, not by OOo. Either use the patch/solution from issue 87538 or go straight to OOo 3.0 version that doesn't need X11 anymore. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 87538 ***
closing.
