How are you running the app ? with the /path/to/soffice or with a
shortcut?

is this the step it fails at? If so, try installing openoffice, from the
sources to a local , user owned directory... I havent installed it as a
system wide option before (mainly because no other users on my systems
need it)

if the call is failing at the libc you could try updating your glib and
glibc ... but as i say, you shouldnt need to.

what window manager are you using (not that really it should matter)

what have you changed in redhat since, and have you checked for any
updates lately?

happy sunday!
