when trying to run oofice, oowriter, etc, the following output is displayed: ( ljb@jeddah ) $ ooffice Gnome session manager detected - session management disabled running openoffice.org setup... Setup complete. Running openoffice.org... /usr/bin/ooffice: line 206: syntax error near unexpected token `)' /usr/bin/ooffice: line 206: ` oopadmin) exec "$OOHOME/spadmin"' this seems to be because of missing ';;' in the case statements. also, there is a missing esac in the shell script. fixing these errors allows openoffice to start up without a problem. the problematic code: case `basename $0` in oosetup) exec "$OOHOME/setup" oopadmin) exec "$OOHOME/spadmin" *) exec "$OOHOME/soffice" "$@" the working code: case `basename $0` in oosetup) exec "$OOHOME/setup" ;; oopadmin) exec "$OOHOME/spadmin" ;; *) exec "$OOHOME/soffice" "$@" ;; esac Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
aight this is fixed...copy the oowrapper-1.3 script to /usr/bin/ooffice and replace the 1.0.3 with the current version, and the <pv> with the current version =)
