Gents:
Running GNOME-flashback/UBUNTU_14.04 on XEON/MSI/24G ram.
I dloaded and installed Apache_OpenOffice_4.1 from source.forge using a reputable(?) CLI script. LibreOffice was purged. Excepting typos the APACHE install process went smoothly ... all intermediate dir/files checked OKey; I was confident ... and all A_OO programs finally appear on my GNOME_Metacity menu. But, no A_OO program runs!
When I *click* on an A_OO menu item I get a taskbar message: "starting open office" which message remains for a few seconds then vanishes. A program never starts and no error message is presented. To repeat -- the A_OO 4.1 programs appear to be installed, show on the GNOME menu, tickle a taskbar response, but in-the-end fail to run.
Has anyone had -- and solved this issue before ? Can it be trivial ?? Any clue appreciated, before I eat-humble-pie and return to Cannonical Libre_Office. Googling does give many examples of failed linux A_OO installs, but the issues appear to be insolvable at the casual_usr_level. The A_OO documentation itself says some scripts may need to be modified in GNOME environs. At that usrland horror I RUN I do not walk in the opposite direction.
