OpenOffice 4.1.6 fatal error, any solutions?
« on: August 26, 2019, 11:01:50 am »
When trying to start OpenOffice, I'll get the following message. Is there any way to fix this?

OpenOffice 4.1.6 - Fatal Error

The application cannot be started.
exception occured raising singleton
"/singletons/com.syn.star.deployment.ExtensionManager": loading component library failed:
file://C:\PROGRAMS\APACHEOPENOFFICE.4/PROGRAM/../program/deploy.dll

you miss libxml2. Install it via "yum install libxml2" or you can also use ANPM to do so of course.. ArcaOS doesn't deliver that by default. The readme should have pointed you to it btw.

I had the same problem when I first bought and installed it.  Silvan was quick to point out to me what I had missed.  The best source for programs and installation is

https://ecsoft2.org/

The best page for information is

https://ecsoft2.org/openoffice

The missing component was something I thought needed to be included in the ArcaOS install. I was told this would not happen.  Only those components that support the operating system.

No, libxml2 is already installed. That's not the problem. Of course I've installed dependencies mentioned in the documentation.

OpenOffice works fine with another computer of mine. But with this Lenovo ThinkCentre M73 it doesn't and gives the error message.

According to eCSoft/2 site the missing library was libxslt. I hadn't installed it for some reason. But...

"Rpmdb checksum is invalid: dCDPT(pkg checksums): libxslt.i686 0:1.1.32-1.oc00 -u"

OpenOffice seems to work fine now however.

This could happen in case of not enought free shared storage...

On ArcaOS 5.1.1, with OpenOffice 4.1.11 installed by Suntan Special, everything seems to work.

Hi

OO 4.1.7 working on ArcaOS 5.1.1 (real hardware) using the below config.sys values allows me to also run Seamonkey without problems

THREADS=512
VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT=2560
PROCESSES=128

Will have to get around to updating to OO 4.1.11 sometime...


Regards

Pete

I don't think you should load the old ft2 high as it interfaces with 16bit code.

Hi andreas

You may want to look through this discussion https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php?topic=3864.msg47573 and see if you have the support libs mentioned installed.

You can also mark all the dll files in the AOO4 program directory to loadhigh. You have to be more selective in usr/libs but I cannot remember which dll files to not mark to loadhigh, Sorry. Hope someone else can join in with the "exclusion list"...


Regards

Pete
