If SELinux is enabled, this may solve your problem (as root) chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /opt/openoffice.org2.3/program/libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1 Mind the line wrapping, you'll want to put that all on one line. If you are not sure if you have SELinux enabled, please do not run this command. It won't hurt, but don't go get excited running commands all over the place. -- ethericalzen@xxxxxxxxx Life is a prison, death is a release
