Hi Christopher,
How are you launching LibreOffice? Are you launching it through the Lens (=
"Start Menu=94), or from the command line, and if the command line, what ar=
e you typing exactly? If you=92re launching it from the command line, can=
you try typing =93libreoffice &=94 in your Terminal window, and see if the=
problem still occurs?
That error is particularly confusing, since a) it=92s referring to componen=
ts of OpenOffice 1.1.4; b) it=92s referring to the Sun Solaris version of O=
pen Office; c) it=92s referring to a local locker cache. It=92s possible y=
ou have a stale OpenOffice profile somewhere in your account, though you=92=
d have to not have run LibreOffice/OpenOffice since some time in 2009 for t=
his error to stick around.
You may wish to try renaming or deleting any directories in your account th=
at begin with ".openoffice.org<http://openoffice.org>=94, or =93OpenOffice.=
org<http://OpenOffice.org>=94 or =93.OpenOffice.org<http://OpenOffice.org>=
=94.
