OpenOffice 2.0.2 does not start

Dell Latitiude D810
SuSE SLICK
KDE 3.4
OpenOffice 2.0.2

I have downloaded the .tar file from OpenOffice, extracted, changed to the OO directory and run

rpm -Uvh *.rpm

I ran it logged in as myself but after sudo'ing.

I then ran the SuSE menu .rpm and the icons are on my menu. When I click on the shortcut the little icon bounces and nothing happens.

I have Googled, and searched KDE forums and cannot find anything relative to this, and there are not really any developed SuSE SLICK forums (that I have found).

Any suggestions.

TIA

It could be that the menu entries are not right. You can get Suse 10 OOo 2.0.2 package from, ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/OpenOffice.org .

I installed them and I get the splash screen. It sits and then I click on the splash screen and the splash screen goes away and it doesnt open.

How can I turn on debugging?

TIA

Start a terminal an run "ooffice" and post any output.

I had been playing with a few other things on here, dependencies, etc. and seem to have had something crossed up. I did a fresh install and ran those RPM's and it worked.

Thanks.

Any suggestions on GIMP for OpenSuSE?

TIA

I am not sure what you are asking here. OpenSuse ships GIMP so you can install it using YAST.
