Dear Sir/ Madam
I have recently built LibreOffice on Lubuntu, with the call to 'make' having been preceded by
successfully running 'sudo apt-get build-dep libreoffice' and then 'autogen.sh' with the following
arguments:
--without-java--without-help--without-myspell-dicts
The actual build was interrupted a couple of times, but having been re-started, concluded with the
following final output, which I am assuming signalled success:
[build ALL] top level modules: build-non-l10n-only build-l10n-only
I then called 'soffice' from the terminal, but was instructed by a message to install
'libreoffice-common', which I duly did with success. Running 'soffice' resulted in libreoffice
successfully starting and presenting the initial screen, where one is invited to open a file or
else start one of the applications, such as Writer or Calc etc.. When I click to start one of the
applications, nothing happens. When I then go to open a template from this same start screen,
LibreOffice crashes and presents me with the document recovery dialog box, stating the following:
Due to an unexpected error, LibreOffice crashed....
Within this dialog box, there is an empty list of files that will be recovered.
In the same vein as the above, I note that I cannot start the individual applications from the
terminal. For example, if I enter the following:
soffice --writer
The splash screen will appear and then disappear, but nothing further will happen, although control
from the terminal is not returned to me, as if something is attempting to run. At the same time,
Lubuntu Task Manager identifies that 'soffice.bin' is running.
Does anybody have any idea as to why LibreOffice is not fully functioning following what appears to
be a successful build?
Thank you.
