Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 97486
OOo3.0 writer fails to start on diskless workstation

Using the .deb packages from http://ftp.linux.cz/pub/localization/OpenOffice.org/devel/OOO300/OOO300_m9/Build-2/OOo_3.0.0_LinuxX86_install_nb_deb.tar.gz, OpenOffice.org writer works fine on Debian Etch workstations and thin clients, but fails on Debian Etch diskless workstations. OpenOffice.org was installed in the diskless chroot as follows: # mount --bind DEBS /chroot/mnt # mount --bind /proc /chroot/proc # chroot /chroot # cd /mnt # dpkg -i *.deb desktop-integration/*.deb These are the error messages (from running openoffice.org3 -writer): /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin: relocation error: /opt/openoffice.org3/program/../basis-link/program/libdeploymentmiscl i.so: symbol db_create, version DB_4_2 not defined in file libdb-4.2.so with link time reference libdb 4.2 is installed. Comparing the output of "find /opt/openoffice.org* | sort" on a workstation and in the diskless chroot, there are no differences.
Framework issue.
After further testing: this doesn't happen everywhere, and is probably not related to diskless workstations. The following workaround enables writer to start: $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/openoffice.org/basis3.0/program:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ openoffice.org3 -writer
