PostPosted: Tue Jun 27, 2006 7:16 am    Post subject: also on 10.3.9

I'm also seeing the same problem on 10.3.9. The non-patched version ran fine.

In Console, I see:

The application cannot be started.
The component manager is not available.

It drops a CrashReporter log to /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Exited process.crash.log which contains nothing but an exception and the current registers (no stack trace).

Perhaps if 10.3.9 and 10.4 are having problems and 10.4.6 has a newer java rev something in this patch was compiled without backwards compatibility?

I found this by Googling:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-openoffice/2004-July/000865.html

- no idea if it's relevant or not.

oops, the link in there is broken, it would point to something like:

Just to clarify - I'm not running this via NFS, but perhaps if we knew why this error was thrown for NFS it would provide a clue for HFS+.

Quote:
link_relative - This option converts absolute symbolic links (where the link contents start with a slash) into relative links. This option makes sense only when a host's entire filesystem is mounted; otherwise, some of the links might point to nowhere, or even worse, to files they were never meant to point to. This option is on by default.


Sorry, I don't know much about OOO internals - this could be a red herring.

Hmm. I compile all NeoOffice PowerPC binaries on Mac OS X 10.3.9 so if you apply a patch to one of the binaries downloaded from our website, then it should run. However, if you build your own NeoOffice, there are no guarantees that the patch will work.

Assuming that you originally installed a binary from our website and that ran OK, can you try installing the following test patch and see if anything changes?:

Excellent. Thanks, Patrick.

I tried installing this patch over the broken NeoOffice and that didn't help.

I then put a fresh copy of the previous release on and applied the new patch and that worked great.

I also thought maybe it had something to do with where I had the NeoOffice.app stored (/Applications/Suites/OpenOffice/NeoOffice.app) as I've done the move/patch/move shuffle before several times with NeoOffice 1.2, and I couldn't cause any breakage with the current version no matter where I had it installed, run from, where it was patched, where it ultimately ran from.

So it looks like NeoOffice 2 also fixes the upgrade application path location problem - double excellent!
