[SOLVED] libreoffice missing libicui18n.so.69

zdolar · 04-14-2022, 09:03 AM

Slackware64-current today updated

Installed libreoffice-7.3.2-x86_64-1alien worked.
Today I started it after a few weeks and failed with the following error:

Code:

root@zbook libreoffice
/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.69: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

but the missing library is installed:

Code:

root@zbook ls -la /usr/lib/libicui18n.so.69
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 17.03.2022 18:30:38 /usr/lib/libicui18n.so.69 -> libicui18n.so.69.1

root@zbook ls -la /usr/lib/libicui18n.so.69.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3534768 03.11.2021 05:41:29 /usr/lib/libicui18n.so.69.1

I reinstalled Libreoffice and the error persist.

I am guessing those are 32 bit libraries not 64 bit libraries. 64 bit library installation place is /usr/lib64. I think you got the 32 bit compat libraries but not the 64 bit libraries installed.

Didier Spaier · 04-14-2022, 09:13 AM

It looks like an architecture mismatch. Probably you run a 64-bit package on an 32-bit system.

PS ozanbaba was faster. Anyway this library should be installed in /usr/lib64 in a 64-bit system.

libreoffice-7.3.2 doesn't on my Slackware64 -current system:

Code:

root@drakstart64:~/Téléchargements# libreoffice
Unspecified Application Error

I have the 3 compat packages from alien installed: boost, icu4c and pango.

I run from root.
If I run from the menu nothing happens?

Nobodino, I think that running applications as root is never recommended because the results are undetermined. The developers of applications will not test the use-case of running them as root.
Look here for the answer to your error: https://www.google.com/search?q=libr....slackbook.org - I don't think it has anything to do with running as root.

nobodino · 04-16-2022, 02:31 PM

I'm running my system as root for years and never had that kind of problem.

Regnad Kcin · 04-16-2022, 04:54 PM

running current and aliens' compat packages boost, icu4c, poppler.
dont know about any pango-compat

7.3.2 starts and runs just fine.

Interesting.
Over the years I've personally seen applications that will not run as root or will issue a warning not to run them as root. Sooner or later if a user keeps running as root, the system will hand them their head.

I do not normally run from root. I decided to give this a try. Slackware64-current, alienbob's libreoffice packages, to be specific these packages are installed.

libreoffice-7.3.2-x86_64-1alien
libreoffice-dict-en-7.3.2-x86_64-1alien
libreoffice-kde-integration-7.3.2-x86_64-1alien

I also have the following alienbob "compat" packages installed.
boost-compat-1.79.0-x86_64-1alien
icu4c-compat-71.1-x86_64-1alien
poppler-compat-21.12.0-x86_64-1alien

There is no pango-compat that I am aware of, I checked alienbob's repository. Did you mean poppler?

I normally run as a user, via the CLI, load KDE via startx. I logged out of KDE, logged out as user, logged in as root, then ran startx, opened a Konsole session, ran libreoffice, opened a spreadsheet, no errors at all.

It might be worth to mentioning that I have no lines uncommented in /etc/profile.d/libreoffice.sh.

nobodino · 04-17-2022, 03:14 AM

Here what I have:

Code:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  1669 avril 11 13:38 poppler-compat-21.12.0-x86_64-1alien

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# To force the use of a certain VCL UI interface, use one of these envvars.
#export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen
#export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3
#export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3_kde5
#export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kf5
#export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=qt5

nota: my system is a multilib system.

I runs normally on another machine.

Read again Windu's post. The answer was to use google to find

Code:

export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965

This has also been asked and answered several times in LQ recently.

nobodino · 04-17-2022, 03:53 AM

thanks, that did the trick.

chrisretusn · 04-17-2022, 10:06 AM

@nobodino, glad you got it figured out.

ozanbaba · 04-17-2022, 11:43 PM

Code:

export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965

I have a recommendation about this: Put it in libreoffice wrapper script.
