thanks, Ariel.

Both procedures don't work :(

thanks

well, now may be your problem is that you have installed both OOo downloaded
from OOo site (it installs in /opt) and OOo from Fedora repos.

You may try the following:

a) remove* both* OOo version *completely*
b) install OOo 3.2 downloaded from OOo site
c) edit /etc/yum.conf and add a line to exclude updating OOo

exclude=openoffice.org*


The problem is an issue in the URE package versioning, that will remove OOo-
Sun/Oracle URE and replace it with OOo RedHat/Fedora:

For example I have installed OOo-Sun/Oracle 3.2

Installed Packages
Name       : openoffice.org-ure

Summary    : UNO Runtime Environment
URL        : http://www.openoffice.org/

running yum update will try to update Sun/Oracle's URE with Fedora's

-> Running transaction check
---> Package openoffice.org-ure.x86_64 1:3.1.1-19.28.fc12 set to be updated
--> Finished Dependency Resolution

If you try this, please report back.
Luck.

Thanks, Ariel. I followed your indications, however, both of them does not work for me. I don't know why this is happening with my fedora system.

a) I did it (nothing happened)
b) It's ok.

Note: WHen I use this command "yum group install office". Yum installs OOo 3.1 and the look of this program is great. Look at this image

According to my escenario, Is there a way to say yum "install 00o 3.2"? Maybe OOo improve its appearance.

Thanks


Thanks a lot.

Saludos,

Alexis

I see what's happening there (you can sure confirm by looking at the menu in
http://arielch.fedorapeople.org/images/OOo_vcl_plugin_gen.png ): OOo is
painting the UI itself, not using native widgets. This is really strange,
running inside a Gnome desktop env.

Please try the following:

a) open a terminal and export the following env. vars.:

~]$  export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN="gtk";export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP="gnome"

then invoke OOo executable from within that same shell.
Does OOo look like a Gnome app.?

b) If the above does not work, then something is wrong with the vcl gtk plug-
in. Either the library is missing, or it has linking issues, or ...
Do the following:

Go to /opt/openoffice.org/basis3.2/program

~]$ cd /opt/openoffice.org/basis3.2/program

Check you have the gtk vcl plug-in library:

program]$ ls -l libvclplug_gtk*.so

should output something like:

-r--r--r--. 1 root root 383640 feb 13 09:16 libvclplug_gtklx.so

If you have that library, try seeing if there is some linking issue:

program]$ ldd -v libvclplug_gtkl*.so
