I recently installed openoffice-4.1.14 on fresh installations of Fedora-35,36,37. On all systems it would just "crash" and go into recover mode, no matter whether I had an actual document loaded. It would only stay up for between 33 and 37 seconds and then fall into recover mode, over and over. Having eliminated any installation issues, I ran the program through dbx. That pointed to libserf-1.so.0. For my installations that was:
/opt/openoffice4/program/libserf-1.so.0 -> libserf-1.so.0.0.0
I replaced that link with this one:
/opt/openoffice4/program/libserf-1.so.0 -> /usr/lib64/libserf-1.so.0
which may itself be a link to libserf-1.so.0.3.0 or libserf-1.so.1.3.9 depending on the OS version.
That library is provided by the libserf package.
Now openoffice-4.1.14 once again is stable on my systems.
Hope this may help others save some time.
