I may be wrong but I think LO packages for Linux on official website, are for distribution maintainers. Indeed, there may be missing dependencies here. Did you check in Fedora repository? (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Repositories)
(In reply to Julien Nabet from comment #1) > I may be wrong but I think LO packages for Linux on official website, are for distribution maintainers. Oh, really? I don't think so. > Did you check in Fedora repository? The Fedora offical repository only offers LibreOffice 5.3.6.1. To test the most up-to-date version of LibreOffice, I am always using the builds from LibreOffice website. It works all the time - this is the first time it fails to run.
There is a similar (may be the same) bug report on Redhat bugzilla which has many duplicates: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1432468
(In reply to Kevin Suo from comment #3) > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1432468 So lets leave this bug at Fedora. It appears to be an issue in one of the distro-provided libraries that LO happens to indirectly use underneath, so nothing we can do about it here.
As suggested in redhat bugzilla, installing clang solves the problem. Maybe, LibreOffice should depend on clang?

The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours.

I thought we already tested OpenCL in a separate process (see https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2017-November/078810.html for a similar proposal for broken Java) :-)
