thx for the help... unfortunately my amateurish attempts to fix the
problem have led to a fatal problem, and now I can no longer start the
defaulty OOo installation anymore. I copied some font files from
/usr/share/texmf/ to /usr/share/fonts, then deleted them, not
realizing that OOo was still starting up; and now OO crashes on
opening after stalling for some time with the status bar at about
50%.
strace gives the following output pre-crash:
a bunch of sequences like this, which I assume aer non-pathological
attempts to read fonts:
open("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/fantasy/cartoon/charo___.ttf",
O_RDONLY) = 12
fstat64(12, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=51840, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 51840, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 12, 0) = 0x416d7000
close(12) = 0

fstat64(12, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=22004, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 22004, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 12, 0) = 0x40473000
close(12) = 0
munmap(0x40473000, 22004) = 0
open("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/fantasy/cartoon/flintstone.ttf", O_RDONLY) = 12

old_mmap(NULL, 17696, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 12, 0) = 0x40473000
close(12) = 0

then this:

waitpid(533,
then the crashreport kicks in, after which there's a bunch of other
stuff.
does this look at all intelligible to anyone? i'm afraid I don't know
how to read output from strace...
thanks for your help"!!

ps -- other versionso f OOo -- in particular a build of 680 which I
got direct from the website -- still run fine. I assume something is
screwed up with the debian installation, but I apt-get remove --purged
the ooo files and I still have the same problem.
thanks much,
matt
