I recall at least one other dIscussions about problems with AOO 4 on Fedora. Did you use Google to find solutions that may have already been posted?

This is what I have just tried that fixed the same problem for me.

I had looked at some threads about this problem, and was going to try one suggestion - but couldn't seem to make it work. I found an uninstalled file on dnfdragora. The difference was that the uninstalled file was a slightly higher version. So - I simply selected this unused file, and installed it.

OpenOffice opened instantly.

Hola quedo resuleto con la siguiente solución de este posts https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124948

~]$ ldd -v /opt/openoffice4/program/libvclplug_gtk.so

In my system, this reports a missing library:

...
libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0 => not found
...

Find the package which provides this library, and install it:

Esta sección me parece importante mecionar que en mi caso la libreria por default instalada era de 32 bits, se cambio el paquete de 64 bits y con eso quedo
dnf install /usr/lib64/libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0

[root@localhost ~]# dnf whatprovides */libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0

gdk-pixbuf2-xlib-2.34.0-1.fc24.i686 : Additional library for using gdk-pixbuf with bare xlib
Repo : fedora

gdk-pixbuf2-xlib-2.34.0-1.fc24.x86_64 : Additional library for using gdk-pixbuf with bare xlib
Repo : fedora

[root@localhost ~]# dnf install gdk-pixbuf2-xlib

Do the same with every missing library. Then, export the following variables:

~]$ export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN="gtk"
~]$ export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP="gnome"

Now run AOO on that terminal

~]$ /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice

Does this work?

I had **solved** my problem by installing:

$ sudo dnf install gdk-pixbuf2-xlib-devel.x86_64

it worked instantly!
