I've open OpenOffice3 working in Windows, and now am trying to do the same on a Telnet-accessed Linux machine as non-root. I seem to have finally installed the OpenOffice software okay, but when I try to run the soffice command on the command line I get:
Code:
The application cannot be started.
The component manager is not available.

The soffice.bin command that gets generated looks like:
Code:
/home/wlnv/OpenOffice/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin
-accept="socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;"

What am I missing in this situation? Any guidance is appreciated.

So you never went through OOo's First Start Wizard? If so, add -nofirststartwizard to your OOo command.

And your running without a GUI? If so, you need OOo to run headless, although simply adding -headless does not suffice. So try one of these two additionally (adding -headless to your OOo command is not even necessary with one of these methods, but it does not add further problems):
Give the X virtual frame buffer (aka xvfb) a try: using openoffice headless ( macro, shell, php ): http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=11890&highlight=headless

Or try this (I think harder method) for a totally headless OOo server: OOo 2.3 Headless X11 requirements: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=67044&highlight=headless
