[Sderby] RE:Open Office 2nd try to send a e-mail

[astraguy]

Hello Dave,
My first Linux install was SuSE 7.2 prof and this I installed with the
Defaults including StarOffice 5.2 ,After the Linux SuSe was loaded I clicked
on the StarOffice icon and the setup screen opened and I accepted the
default setting this worked with no problems, I then loaded the the Open
Office from a Linux cd recomended by Dom and again accepted the default
setting and again when I clicked the Open Office icon the program set its
self up with no problems, So I am not sure what your problem is Dave but I
would have thought that like me you would not have had any problems, Will
you be going to the next meeting on Sunday ?.
Cheers Mike

Hi All
Can you advise me on this problem-
I installed OpenOffice successfully under SuSe 7.2. However it won't run,
simply producing the banner screen when I launch it from KDE.
If I type soffice into a Terminal window, I get the banner again and a
message which says something like "X window system does not support LC en
eur" + a lot of other nonsense. My guess is that it doesnt like the fact
that I have chosen English as my base language and maybe it can't find a
euro symbol. Whatever the whole thing aborts.
Does this mean that I need a more up to date version of XFree86 (current
version is 4). If so, is there an easy way to do it from KDE or SuSe, since
I have a copy of 4.1.0 on a cover disk and the instructions for use are
horrendous.
Any advice welcomed.
Cheers Dave C.
