LibreOffice stubbornly refuses to work
I'm on a Debian Squeeze system, newly installed. I installed LibreOffice from the backports, and aptitude wiped out OpenOffice (as expected). Later on the upgrade manager updated the following packages from 1.3.3.3.something to 1.3.4.3-1 (but left the other packages belonging to libreoffice to 1.3.3.3):
libreoffice-common libreoffice-filter-mobiledev libreoffice-style-galaxy I didn't run LibreOffice before this update; I tried now, but it doesn't want to work. First it was complaining about missing libraries, but a search showed them all to be under /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.3/program. I made symlinks to all of the .so files in that directory into /usr/lib, and now it seems as if it wants to run (the splashscreen appears), but then it gives the following error (when ran in the terminal): Code:
The application cannot be started. What to do? Thanks. |
What specific error messages are thrown when you start LO from the command line?

Exactly what I wrote, nothing more, nothing less. Should have specified I was already running it in the terminal - original post now reflects this.

Do you have the soffice.bin file installed? You need the libreoffice-core installed in version 3.4. I think your easiest solution is a complete reinstall of libreoffice.
