Hi! I'm running an up-to-date unstable with the stlports libraries and am trying to get OpenOffice641 to work (638 doesn't work either...:( ).
On my "testing" machine, I don't have any problems and was able to install both 638 and 641 (w)out difficulty. The installation here on unstable doesn't show any text at all. Pressing return through the installationsroutine successfully installs OpenOffice ( in my home directory as I do this as a normal user ) so that I can start it and create new documents etc., but the menus are only made up of icons and lines (where normally text would be). Clicking on the open icon, I get a grey, opaque window with a white slit at the top and the usual title bar "Open." I don't get any error messages when I start from an xterm, but strace shows requests for library files that I already have: libhistory.so.4, for example. Searching through the web, I've found other problems, but not this one. Any ideas? Thanks Eamon Roque.
