Re: problem running StarOffice as non-root
Hi,
probably you did a single user install. Even when your system is single
user, I prefer installing it multiuser.
To fix the problem, do this:
-run as root the setup again and deinstall
-as root, start the program again, but now with the net option:
./setup /net
After install, login as a normal user and run /usr/local/soffice52/soffice
(or something like that) and because this is your first time as a user,
you will be asked for your personal data. After this, you should be able
to use office as a normal user.
Greetz,
Sebastiaan
