AOO 4.1.1.1 GA install experience
« on: February 18, 2015, 01:28:13 am »
I downloaded the updated AOO 4.1.1.1 and proceeded to do the install.

I uninstalled 4.1.1 first, & rebooted.

I then installed 4.1.1.1.  I found that Warpin would select my prior directory for install, but not allow me to change it.  I don't get it.  If I had truely uninstalled the older release, why would Warpin force me to use the old directory.  I decided it wasn't worth the effort to sort out.  But if you know the answer, please share in case  someone else cares more than I do.

After the install, I rebooted again.

Clicking the program icon gave me the hatch and then disappeared without a trace of the program running.

I moved to run swriter.exe from the command line and found that libc 066c or some such was not available.   A review of the install readme showed that this was one of the prerequisites that I had already installed for the first 4.1.1 release.  I had no reason to believe it was not installed.

I moved to run yum, and opted to use yum update yum command.  Yum and three other packages were updated, one of which was the libc066 something or other.  So it seems I needed an update.

Now starting the writer netted a quick display of the welcome screen before it disappeared.  A dialog indicated something was wrong and gave me several options to look into.

Running swriter.exe from the command line didn't show me anything either.  So I went to the popuplog.os2 and found the following...

02-17-2015  17:41:07  SYS2070  PID 0049  TID 0001  Slot 0095
F:\OPENOFFICE.4.1.1\PROGRAM\SOFFICE.BIN
FWK->STDCPP6.__ZSt24__throw_out_of_range_fmtPKcz
127
------------------------------------------------------------

02-17-2015  17:41:07  SYS3170  PID 0049  TID 0001  Slot 0095
F:\OPENOFFICE.4.1.1\PROGRAM\SOFFICE.BIN

EAX=00000000  EBX=11337058  ECX=00000000  EDX=00000000
ESI=11336ea4  EDI=00000000 
DS=0053  DSACC=f0f3  DSLIM=ffffffff 
ES=0053  ESACC=f0f3  ESLIM=ffffffff 
FS=150b  FSACC=00f3  FSLIM=00000030
GS=0000  GSACC=****  GSLIM=********
CS:EIP=005b:1caf995a  CSACC=f0df  CSLIM=ffffffff
SS:ESP=0053:0012fdc0  SSACC=f0f3  SSLIM=ffffffff
EBP=0012fdd8  FLG=00010206

FWK.DLL 0001:0001adcf

On a whim, I thought if the libc 066 needed to be updated, then perhaps other libraries did too.  So I performed a yum update command and it updated quite a few packages for me.

I then rebooted.

Now SWRITER properly starts for me.  I'll be using the program for the next few days and see if any other issues arise.

Good luck. :)

I think that's what it is supposed to do. If, after uninstalling, you choose "remove database entry" in warpin before you start the new install you can then choose a different directory.

After the install, I rebooted again.

Clicking the program icon gave me the hatch and then disappeared without a trace of the program running.

I moved to run swriter.exe from the command line and found that libc 066c or some such was not available.   A review of the install readme showed that this was one of the prerequisites that I had already installed for the first 4.1.1 release.  I had no reason to believe it was not installed.

Yes, the latest version needs updates of the required runtimes. You should have simply run "yum update"


Good luck. :)

Out of curiosity where does one get this AOO4.1.1.1 GA?  I tried the dropbox page but it requires a password and for some reason putting bww as the password does not work.

Apache OpenOffice for eCS (OS/2) 4.1.1.1 GA

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hd9a9sjr8jszw16/AAC_iXq4PdV4tRuAlAigbfRia?dl=0
The password to download the file is: bww 

You need only one complete wpi for your preferred language.
If you want to install an additional language you need only the
language wpi for the new language. 

For additional installation information, please read the
readme_aoo.txt file. The file can also be found in the

I use macros extensively and it work great and produce a lot of output, both charts as png and sheets as tab separated text files... I use a rexx script that can set macro security in OOorg 3.2 and 4.1.1

The only problem is how to add them to controls such as buttons and/or to run as the document open. That part require java that lock up the whole app.

I've fixed the link to Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1.1 GA 2 on the front page of os2world.com,
that should solve some problems :)

On another note, I unstalled the first GA as per the readme, rebooted, installed the second GA
and after some problems figured out I also needed AOO-4111-GA-rpm.wpi as somethings have
changed with requirements between the first and second GA's.

Now I've lost all the file associations, ie, xls, doc files etc, I have to drag them to an AOO icon to
open them. the AOO4 readme says "support for WPS integration via separate package" but
I cant see a separate package on Dropbox, I have not been to the BWW website to look further but I'll
do that shortly. or.. I'll just replace the os2 ini files from the backup I did lastnight and see how
that goes.

Hi,

Printing is not possible.

I print on HP laser printers. Those are connected via a printserver. I use LASERJET.DRV.
There is only one program that cannot print: AOO 4.1.1.1. All other programs, including OpenOffice.org 3.2, have no problems.
The printer produces only blank pages or pages with '@PJL SET COPIES=1' '@PJL BITSPERPIXEL=2' etc. There is no difference loading the dlls high or low.
CUPS is no option because cups cannot cope with printservers.
So back to 3.2 for me. :(

Regards, Leo

Hi Leo,  as a matter of interest just how are you printing to a print server and what server are you using?

Printing to my HP-laser seems to work fine, but I'm using a pscript driver.
