Applixware 4.4.1 : Could not start /opt/applix/axdata/filters/olefilter/olefilter
Applies to
Applix: Version 4.4.1
Symptom:
You are starting with Applixware 4.4.1 the new JAVA based MS Office 97
document import filter. But instead of displaing the Wizard an error
message pops up:
Could not start /opt/applix/axdata/filters/olefilter/olefilter
Cause:
The error is not located yet. It shows up more frequently on workstations
using ISDN hardware or PPP network connections. For other systems an old
version of libc5 seems to be the cause.
Solution:
A solution is not know yet, but the following procedures have been
successeful in some cases:
- Install all patches located at
http://www.suse.de/patches/applix_update.html
- Install a new version of libc (libc.so.5.4.46 or the last version
before glibc 2.0.7).
-
Sometimes a complete update has been suceccesful. Linux Office Suite 99
does contain a full base SuSE Linux 5.3 system.
-
For some older systems (eg. Red Hat 4.2) the included JAVA of Applixware needs
an own libc which has been removed before releasing the package. Please copy
the file
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_u
pdate/Applix/4.4.1/libc5/libc.so.5.gz
to /opt/applix/jre115/lib/i386/green_threads/ and unzip it there
using gunzip.
-
Changes to the network configuration also have been successful (just
check your /etc/hosts file again).
Make shure that
ping localhost
is working.
- You have a glibc based Linux System, eg. Debian 2.0 and installed on top
of that the libc5 packages of Applixware. In this case please install
the glibc packages.
