start openoffice.org will not work when double clicking

[kleppar]

i am installing openoffice on new machine with panther.

when trying to open files by clicking, openoffice will not open them. i get the following error message:

"applescript error
Finder got an error: Can´t get URL of alias: (name of location and file)".

then (sometimes) it attempts to proceed to open the file, and i get a new message that the application is closing down.

if i try to open a message from within openoffice using open, it works.

i have both java 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 plugin settings.

i installed on a "clean" machine with no previous version of openoffice.


regards,

I'm having a similar problem. However, the difference is I'm not trying to open a file in my home directory and FileVault is turned off. I'm trying to open a file on an nfs automount. For instance if the directory is /mnt/net/clients/10711/word.doc and I try to open it from the command line using the command (it's part of an automated script):

open /mnt/net/clients/10711/word.doc

With doc's set to open using Start OpenOffice. I get the following error:

Applescript Error
Finder got an error: Can't get URL of alias "clients:10711:word.doc". (-1728)
