Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Libreoffice headless option

Hi :)
This wiki-page might help
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport

I have not tried looking at it with a command-line web-browser such as; links, lynx, netrik, 
surfraw(?), w3m (has ipv6 support) and probably others as i was only looking through the standard 
Ubuntu repos which are more tuned into gui apps.  

Anyway, hopefully the wiki-page might help get strace (or whatnot as the space-station reporter 
often says)
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi,

Yes, I installed them manually using the DEB packages.

I tried to install those dependencies but it is now silently failing and
giving no output whatsoever. I tried to debug it with my poor gdb skills,
but gdb log is saying;

Program exited with code 0115.
No stack.

By the way, I have installed openoffice, and it's soffice is working
correctly, but I'd like to use libreoffice if possible.

If I can debug and see why it is failing, I can do so, but I don't know how
to do.

Thanks,
