Funny. After having the ure issue and reinstalling, I now get “no suitable windowing system found, exiting.” I begin to understand why I switched from Ubuntu…
It sounds like a problem with SELinux.
Check /var/log/messages file and try to find something OpenOffice related errors, like example following:
And post errors here.
Thanks a lot for the write-up. This saved me from despair as i was having problems installing it and i ran into the dreaded message “jre-1.6.0_18-fcs.i586 is already installed” and couldn’t move forward. I got it fixed and installed after coming across your web page. Thanks again! :)

Hi, I followed the instructions and the installation ran smooth on my Fedora
12 x86_64. However, trying to run ‘soffice’ or ‘openoffice.org3’ for the first
time, right at the welcome window the program crashes at the “User Name” step.
Since this phase is never completed because of this crash, every time I try to
run oppenoffice this damn window appears again, and so I am totally unable to
run any openoffice program! The error message Konsole gives me is:
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice: line 131: 3148 Segmentation fault (core dumped) “$sd_prog/$sd_binary” “[email protected]”
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :)
Hi Anderson,
I found a bug report about same problem here. Looks like this bug is not solved yet, but one thing what you could try is remove old .openoffice.org profile directory with command:
Another possible option if you are using KDE is following:
And yet another possible option is try to install OpenOffice.org 3.2 from rawhide repository, maybe it works for you. You can try to install it with following command (as root):
YEAH!!
I tried the second option and it worked wonderfully!
Thank you so much! I was trying to avoid downloading openoffice from repos
since it would automatically download tons of fedora’s java packages as dependencies (I prefer sun’s java sdk ;) Thanks again!
You’re welcome!
Nice to hear that you got Open Office 3.2 working! :)
Thx JR, had the same problem and fixed it by solution number 1 :)
Hi,
I had the same problem like Anderson.
Like solution I tried the second option and OOo start successfully.
But when I end work in Writer or Calc, appears window “The KDE Crash Handler” with next error
Executable: soffice.bin PID: 6372 Signal: 11 (Segmentation fault).
Can you help me please? Thanks in advance…
Hi Michell,
Could you get a more accurate error message, for example, open the Open Office on the command line? Or view the entire error message in the KDE Crash Handler?
Thanks so much JR I had same problem and I have fixed it with solution #2.
Hi JR,
there is “Developer Information” from KDE Crash Handler:
Application: unknown (soffice.bin), signal: Segmentation fault

Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)
And, when I start it from command line, I will get this error:
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice: line 131: 2807 Segmentation fault (core dumped) “$sd_prog/$sd_binary” “[email protected]”
But in my .bash_profile file I have insered this line > export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
When I run export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome from command line before I run /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice, I get only warning message: ** (soffice:2926): WARNING **: unable to get gail version number
And OOo starts good, but this isn’t comfortable solution :-(
Thanks
Michell
PS: sorry for my English :-)
This sounds very strange, that export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome line directly from the command-line works, but not from the .bash_profile file. One thing, what you can try is following, print the contents of OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP variable on the command line, after you’ve logged in, with following command:
Is this just empty or gnome?
You can also try the following options.
1. Add same thing on two lines at the end of .bash_profile file:
2. Another option is to add the following lines at the end of /etc/profile file:
3. And last option is simply do simple bash script which handle the OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP variable export and starts openoffice.
Create example following /usr/local/bin/oowriter file as root with following content:
Save file and make it executable:
And make needed scripts same way for Calc, Presentation, Math, Database and so on.
Finally edit all shortcuts to use your new scripts.
Perhaps these instructions were helpful to you? :)
Yeah, it’s perfect. Now it runs without any errors.
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for the installation instructions and the comments that others have posted here. I followed all of them and openoffice 3.2 installed fine. The only issue I saw was when it installed the redhat-menus rpm, it says that gtk-update-icon-cache is missing due to which it is unable to perform a few activities. However, that does not stop the installation nor does it crash openoffice. I believe this might be because I am using only KDE and no gnome at all.
Hi,
I’m using Fedora 12 and I’ve tried installing the RPMs in the terminal and also using the ./setup approach. Everything seems to check out okay in that the Office menu gets populated with the various OpenOffice applications such as Base, Calc, Writer, and so forth, but if I click on any of them, nothing happens at all I then tried and run the openoffice.org3 command in the terminal and get this error:
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstlport_gcc.so: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied
I checked the OO mailing list from one of the google search results for the error but its way over my head. It’s been a while since I used Fedora; I could have sworn the last time I tried it a few years back, OO was preinstalled even. Oh well, I’m guessing this is due to some newbie mistake I must have made.
Hi again,
OK I got it working (I think) thanks to this excellent work by the person who authored this post!:
http://www.vildev.ewil.pl/?method=get_news&id=16
Basically, the problem was due to some SELinux/permissions issue. You have to make a series of execstack commands (adjust the location of the files depending on your own system’s open office installation).
execstack -c /opt/openoffice.org/ure/lib/libstlport_gcc.so
execstack -c /opt/openoffice.org/ure/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
execstack -c /opt/openoffice.org/ure/lib/libstlport_g
execstack -c /opt/openoffice.org/ure/lib/libstdc++.so.6
Now Open Office seems to finally open and run correctly. But I have not tested everything to make sure. The author of the post I linked to seems to hint about another error that he or she ran into after doing the above. I hope this will help anyone else who runs into the issue.
Thank you very much! It was really helpful. My OpenOffice is now running without a problem.
thanx.. dear
i solve my problem of OO0 3.2.1 installation on fedora live13 Kde addition.
once again thankyou very much.
Looks like this problem is very persistent, for though this page has gotten old, it was very useful to me. Thanks!
Hi, thanks for your description.It works but onlu when i start in console:
/opt/ooo-dev3/program/soffice.bin
You said : “Or create own icons and add Gnome menu.”
But , i even don`t know how.
My destop is LXDE on Fedora 13,
Thanks in advance!
Hi ljbomir,
LXDE uses following .desktop files, so add like following content:
to /usr/share/applications/openoffice.desktop (system wide) or ~/.local/share/openoffice.desktop (per user)

This are my files in directory :/usr/share/applications.
I don’t see any openoffice.desktop file there …or should i create it ?
The same situation is in the /usr/local/share/applications.
Yes I meant that the openoffice.desktop file(s) should create from scratch.
OpenOffice.org 3.3 is still beta, so therefore it is still missing desktop integration.
But I just checked OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 files more specific and easy way to get launchers work is following:
Then check menu, launchers should be under Office section. Currently without icons, but should work.
Hi JR,
Many thanks for helping, but still not wokring.
I made every step you described include creating and editing a file to
/usr/share/applications/openoffice.desktop.
Under office section i have only Abiword.
And i have a .xls file on my desktop and i can not open it dyrectly.
Before i installed version 3.2 (by yum extender), i had all office programs in the menu but only writer and impress were working. Other two wich are : calc and draw was not.
If you do exactly following:
Then you should have following directory:
~/.local/share/applications/OOO330
with following files:
And I just tested this with LXDE and it looks like working. I have OOo-dev 3.3 (OOo-dev 3.3 Base, OOo-dev 3.3 Calc, OOo-dev 3.3 Draw, OOo-dev 3.3 Impress, OOo-dev 3.3 Math, OOo-dev 3.3 Printer Administration, OOo-dev 3.3 Writer) launchers under Office menu.
While i was installing a new drivers of NVIDIA, i made a reboot and
after that all those (OOo-dev 3.3 Base, OOo-dev 3.3 Calc, OOo-dev 3.3 Draw, OOo-dev 3.3 Impress, OOo-dev 3.3 Math, OOo-dev 3.3 Printer Administration) appeared in the office menu!!!! But now i have a new message when i try to open in LXDE :
——————————————————————-
The application cannot be started.
OOo-dev user installation could not be processed due to missing access rights. Please make sure that you have sufficient access rights for the following location and restart OOo-dev:
/home/ljbomir/.config/.ooo-dev/3
————————————————————————
I tested in openbox desctop and it was working.
I don’t know what about this message :
———————————————————-
SELinux denied access requested by lxdm-binary. It is not expected that this
access is required by lxdm-binary and this access may signal an intrusion
attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the
application is causing it to require additional access
———————————————————————————
Does it reference to my problem ?
Error sound strange, please post following information:
It sounds like you just have wrong permission on ooo-dev directory for your user.
