If you are using WBEL for 64 this may be a problem with some i386
dependencies (as I had whit openoffice). I solved the problem
installing openoffice.org via yum repositories and changing yum files
to point at i386 repositories. Then you can do a yum install
openoffice.org to install and be sure all the dependencies (like
libgnomevfs-2.so.0) will be solved. This means some duplicated
libraries in /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib (84 MB download aprox.)

Best regards!!

Good evening.

I have a couple of applications that aren't working quite right.  First,
when I try to launch OpenOffice.org (any of the tools), the system replies,

/usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared
libraries: libgnomevfs-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory

I installed all the OOo packages.  The second is Firefox.  It's very
cool that it's included by default, but the way the Extension website
works, you can only get to it if you're using the latest release.
Firefox is in the "lib64" directory, which implies that it's a 64-bit
version - however, the only version they have for download (binary,
anyway) is an i686 version.  I downloaded it and installed it, but it
can't fire up either.  I get

/usr/lib64/firefox-1.0.4/firefox-bin: error while loading shared
libraries: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

Do I need to download the source and compile it myself to get a 64-bit
version?  Should I take the tarball, do an "rpmbuild -ta [tarball]" and
then install the resultant RPM?  Should I forget about the HTML Tidy
extension?  ;)  (I'd prefer not the latter...)

I have one other issue, but it'll be coming shortly in a separate mail.
