Restarting my computer, I tried running libreoffice, I see the loading bar come up but then it just disappears almost as quickly as it came. Running it from the command line gives the error:

Code:

/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_locale.so.1.74.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'd say I'd just try building from source but would that be likely to fix the error? Regardless, is there a semi-obvious fix for this?

thx

You do not run Slackware-current if your computer is missing boost-1.74. If you are running -current you have not updated since August 15th. Please always install/run the latest -current before you start asking this kind of questions.

It looks like libreoffice is built against boost 1.74.0, which was put into slackware-current on August 15, 2020. I'm guessing you haven't updated current since then and are still on an older boost version. Updating should fix that.

Ps. It's a good idea to get alienBOB's "boost-compat" package as well, to avoid future problems with boost. It tends to cause lots of breakage for third party programs.

Edit: Looks like I type too slow.

libreoffice: updated to 7.0.2 for Slackware-current.
Note that I dropped Java support from LO 7.x.
You can compile this on Slackware 14.2 yourself with some caveats.

"Dropped java support for LO 7"
Is java even important in libre office? What are you missing out on without it? I'm expecting by libre office 8 they'll drop it entirely upstream.

Would need to confirm, but I seem to remember Java's still required for Base.

I've been enjoying using Libreoffice for about just over a month now. I recently updated -current again since doing so after my last post in this thread and it seems Libreoffice is no longer working properly on my system.
Running it from the command line gives the error:

Code:

/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.67: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Taking a look at the changelog, it looks like libicui18n.so.67 was upgraded to libicui18n.so.67.1. I'm not sure exactly how to go about tweaking the package to get it to work again.

Edit: Some folks in the irc helped me out by kindly pointing me in the direction of AlienBOB's icu4c-compat lib.
https://slackware.pkgs.org/current/a...alien.txz.html
which completely solved the problem.
Thanks again Bob.

I am a little behind by a point or two but as always I have compiled libreoffice (7.0.2.2) using the latest SlackBuild by our very own orbea. Using the following options:

Code:

JAVA="no" SYSTEM_LIBS="no" TMP="/tmp/ads" NUMJOBS="32" CCACHE="no" \

DICT="yes" HELP="html" LANGUAGES="en-GB" ./libreoffice.SlackBuild

I get a fastish compile and the setting SYSTEM_LIBS="no" keeps me insulated from system changes with no ill effects that I have seen as yet. And just to reinforce what a great investment a Threadripper 2950X build was:

Code:

Slackware package /tmp/libreoffice-7.0.2.2-x86_64-1_orb.tgz created.

Howdy!

I'm not sure what I'm missing, but Libreoffice will not run, when starting from CLI here is the error:

/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libicudata.so.67: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any input or direction will be recieved well : )

Thank you,

You either need a newer LibreOffice or grab alien's icu4c-compat package.

Alien Bob's current libreoffice package should link to the newer libicudata.so.68 that's in -current instead of the .67 that your existing package links to.

Please advise which Slackware (14.2, -current) and which LO (SBo, alienBOB) & which LO version you're having the problem with.
