Something broke OpenOffice..?!?

Does anyone know what causes this error:

Code: Select all

opt/OpenOffice.org/program/soffice.bin: relocation error: /usr/NX/lib/libXcomp.so.1: symbol _ZNSo5seekpESt4fposI11__mbstate_tE, version GLIBCPP_3.2 not defined in file libstdc++.so.5 with link time reference

apparently I did something that broke my OpenOffice install. Re-installing produces the same error duing install.

I'm getting so tired of these things....

Try running revdep-rebuild. Seems like something went wrong with a library..

Thanks. Somehow people need to keep reminding me of that tool.

I've found a different cause/solution, and it's quite weird. I recently upgraded FreeNX, and this could be causing it.

The command

Code: Select all

strace -e trace=open soffice

reveals openoffice is looking for libXcomp.so at various places, it it'll find it in /usr/NX/lib/ at my system.

Removing /usr/NX/lib/ from /etc/ld.so.conf and running ldconfig again solved my problem, OpenOffice no longer found libXcomp.so and didn't get the symbol clash.

I'm still confused who's fault this is though.. (OpenOffice, NX, my FreeNX upgrade or my gcc-3.4 upgrade) And I've likely broken FreeNX now.

Thanks for the ld.so.conf tip - I was having that issue as well, and that solved it.

Don't know why that's happening either... I should probably just remove NX, since I'm not using it.

Lucky you
You can also comment the paths out in /etc/env.d/*nx*

(or don't use the masked gcc-3.4 compiler, because that ebuild introduced the new libstdc++.so.6 library)
