[Solved] AOO3.4 bad interpreter problem

[nirmeshk]

I am working on RHEL6.2 , 64 bit. I have upgraded it's kernel to 3.2.7
Since yesterday I installed Apache Openoffice 3.4 several times, cleaning files and directories and trying again, but in vain. It is not running. Can someone give me a clue on this ? Error messages are given below.

root@localhost RPMS]# openoffice.org3

A quick Google suggests you need to install glibc.i686 - a 32 bit library?

[nirmeshk]

Thanks for a prompt reply. Installation of glibci686 seems to be tougher for me. It showed dependency on glibc-common. And when I downloaded and tried installing glibc-common, it showed lot more dependencies as given below. My yum repository contains RPMs of 64 bits only, so I cannot use Yum for this. Is there an easier way of installing this ?

There seems to be discussion on installiong 32 bit libraries on Red Hat using yum at
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... um-505352/

My own experience is with Ubuntu.

Thanks for guiding me to install 32 bit libraries. All those errors have gone now. But openoffice still do not works :

[root@localhost ~]# openoffice.org3
no suitable windowing system found, exiting.

I checked forums .... at this forum somebody solved this error by disabling selinux, but in my case, it is already disabled :

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/selinux/config

# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
# targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
# mls - Multi Level Security protection.
#SELINUXTYPE=targeted

Perhaps, I need to remove OO and install again, so that it is aware of changes made in the system.

I did a reinstall. As glibci686 32 bit is installed, it is not giving earlier error messages, but still not starting :

[root@localhost desktop-integration]# openoffice.org3
no suitable windowing system found, exiting.

My problem is solved and I do not know how. During my last post, even after reinstall, it did not worked. Erred with same message, as stated in post. Then I left the matter, and got involved in a web app development. For this, I had to install certain libraries, applications in last few days. I do not know what worked, but today I suddenly found my open office working.
Thanks to those who replied to my post and placed an effort to get this working.
