Launching OpenOffice under Red Hat Enterprise Linux

20 October 2008

I notice that a number of people have found their ways to this 'blog because they've installed OpenOffice under RHEL, but OpenOffice doesn't seem to launch.

This is probably an SELinux issue. If so, then it should be resolved either if one goes to the directory containing libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1 and (as root) runs

chcon -t textrel_shlib_t libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1
to get SELinux to accept the interface, or if one up-dates to OpenOffice 3.0.0.
