LibreOffice in Slackware.

Thank you, again.

Next Libreoffice upgrade I will remember to also upgrade libxml2 and remove the old file from libreoffice directory.

kgha · 12-12-2023, 10:03 AM

Still a bit mysterious why the libxml2.so file is missing from AlienBob' s package. His buildscript is written to pick up libxml2-2.11.4.tar.xz from https://dev-www.libreoffice.org/src/ and that's the latest version available there.

For me I get this compilation error:

Code:

But he uses --with-system-libxml, so he links against libxml2.so.2.9.14 which was on his computer last Thursday when he built libreoffice. But three days later, Patrick upgraded the system library to libxml2.so.2.12.2. It should be compatible because the SONAME was the same (libxml2.so.2) but seems it's not.

cwizardone · 12-12-2023, 10:58 AM

Either way it has always works just fine here regardless of -current updates or kernel version.

I'm fine with that because I don't really use libreoffice Draw here
I'm just pointing out that I'm having the same issue

dhalliwe · 12-12-2023, 02:12 PM

I am using an older version of Libre Office (7.3.1.3, using a package from SlackOnly).

Draw failed to run for me today, popping up an error message about failing to load /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/libsdlo.so. That particular library shows libxml2.so as a dependency, which I had upgraded on December 10 when the new version came available.

I tried the trick Petri suggested in https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ml#post6469959. No joy for me.

Downgrading to the earlier limbxml2-2.9.14 made the error go away.

So, not just alien's package, or the most recent Libre Office.

General problems with this package update noted on the SlackBuilds mailing list - https://lists.slackbuilds.org/piperm...er/028772.html.

chris.willing · 12-12-2023, 11:13 PM

For LibreOffice builders using SBo: until the LO devs deal with problems associated with the recently updated libxml, the LibreOffice SlackBuild has just been updated to use the internally provided libxml (thereby avoiding the libxml update problem). Update is at https://git.slackbuilds.org/slackbui...898f21c6a438e5 (or wait until SBo global update at the weekend).

If building on -current, also remove the line:

Code:

--with-system-icu \

(as per SlackBuild in ponce's repo).

Chris, xmlsec is fixed on my branch

chris.willing · 12-13-2023, 05:53 AM

Thanks Willy, xmlsec reinstated.

Not sure if this is related to anything what you guys are talking about...

I got this as well, but only on 32-bit, not 64-bit. I even tested on a clean fully-patched install, and I still hit the same error. Then, I tried compiling liblangtag separately and that spit out the same error in the same place. For whatever reason, liblangtag is not compiling on 32-bit. 64-bit compiles without error.

I tried same thing, and liblangtag itself gives the same error. What is interesting, I am using multilib, and not a pure 64bit environment...
