Hi.

I'm using Slackware here, and I downloaded the 2.0 package, converted the RPM's to tgz packages and installed it. All ok.

When trying to run

/opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice

as a regular user, it fails and die silently, but running it as root it works.
What can be wrong? I already changed the file permissions to the regular user to give it a try, but still do not works.

Thanks.

Ouch. I found it. Look:

[root@/home/taq]ls -lah /tmp/OSL_PIPE_*
srwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2005-10-26 09:39 /tmp/OSL_PIPE_0_SingleOfficeIPC_bfa67ba891bd9b76f67a649f29db7e59
srwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2005-10-20 18:18 /tmp/OSL_PIPE_1010_SingleOfficeIPC_58d03d51b8c9ceca34e2caf50f5c9d

[root@/home/taq]rm /tmp/OSL_PIPE_*

Seems that those /tmp/OSL_PIPE files were blocking the regular user to run.
What are those files?
I deleted and now everything is ok.
