TCL 64: Libreoffice Draw and Impress not working

[lizardidi]

Not sure if this is a bug:

On TCL 64 (not tested for TCL32) libreoffice unable to launch Draw and Impress. Other programs eg Writer, Calc, Math are working.

The error message when try to launch Draw:

loading component library <file:///usr/local/lib/libreoffice/program/../program/libsdlo.so> failed.

Whereas when try to launch Impress, no error displayed. When checked with htop, impress is running in the background.


Did a web search, and found varied and inconsistent solutions. Most user solved this by updating the packages.

/usr/local/lib/libreoffice/program/../program/libsdlo.so resolves to /usr/local/lib/libreoffice/libsdlo.so, but the library is in /usr/local/lib/libreoffice/program/libsdlo.so along with all of the other libraries, so I guess this is a bug.

Compiling libreoffice is a mammoth task, but I'll add it to the to do list.

  "program/../program" resolves to "program", doesn't it?
  There's a pack with unresolved external packages (like postgres openldap python etc.) there, it's true too. But I suppose it's related to some language settings in this case.

Ooops, yes you’re correct..

Hi Juanito
The TC14 x86_64 repo has the same version. I installed it in my
TC14 setup and draw threw the same error message.

My TC10 32 bit setup already had libreoffice installed. I loaded
it and the draw application came up.

I think I may have found something. From my TC14 setup:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:/usr/local/lib/libreoffice/program$ for F in `ls lib*.so`; do ldd $F | grep found && echo -e "     $F\n"; done
        libldap-2.4.so.2 => not found
        liblber-2.4.so.2 => not found
     libldapbe2lo.so

        libldap-2.4.so.2 => not found
        liblber-2.4.so.2 => not found
     libpostgresql-sdbc-impllo.so

        libpython3.6m.so.1.0 => not found
        libpython3.6m.so.1.0 => not found
     libpythonloaderlo.so

        libpython3.6m.so.1.0 => not found
     libpyuno.so

tc@box:/usr/local/lib/libreoffice/program$The file list after each  not found  group is the one that threw the error.
Hope this helps. Have to leave for a while.

Hi Juanito
Never mind. I installed the missing dependencies and nothing changed.

Seems the version on my TC10 is missing some deps but it works:

Code: [Select]

tc@E310:/usr/local/lib/libreoffice/program$ for F in `ls lib*.so`; do ldd $F | grep found && echo -e "     $F\n"; done
        libgstpbutils-1.0.so.0 => not found

        libgstbase-1.0.so.0 => not found
        libgstreamer-1.0.so.0 => not found
     libavmediagst.so

        libpython3.5m.so.1.0 => not found
        libpython3.5m.so.1.0 => not found
     libpythonloaderlo.so
