Tuesday November 07, 2006 OpenOffice 2.0.4 Fails to Start
A quick note for those who might be bitten by a problem that got me today.
When I upgraded OpenOffice to 2.0.4 on my Mac Book Pro today, it wouldn't run. The OpenOffice menu bar would appear, then the splash screen...and then nothing. I repeated the installation (interesting that isn't taken as a sign of insanity in our business) with the same result.
Our very active and helpful Sun Mac community fixed the problem by sending me to this information. Apparently there is a bad interaction between Apple's latest X11 version and OpenOffice. Sounds like it might be an Apple problem. In any case, I issued the two specified commands and then OO was able to start and complete its installation procedure. OO is once again running well on my laptop.
