I'm running openSuSE 13.1 in a recent install. Invoking libreoffice in a bash window produces this error message: > libreoffice /usr/lib64/qt4/bin/libreoffice: line 49: cd: ../lib64/libreoffice/program: No such file or directory /usr/lib64/qt4/bin/libreoffice: line 156: /usr/lib64/qt4/bin/oosplash: No such file or directory > Here are the relevant lines of the libreoffice script: 41 # resolve installation directory 42 sd_cwd=`pwd` 43 sd_res=$0 44 while [ -h "$sd_res" ] ; do 45 cd "`dirname "$sd_res"`" 46 sd_basename=`basename "$sd_res"` 47 sd_res=`ls -l "$sd_basename" | sed "s/.*$sd_basename -> //g"` 48 done 49 cd "`dirname "$sd_res"`" Here's what happening: I invoke the program as "libreoffice". Based on my path, the $0 variable in line 43 is "/usr/lib64/qt4/bin/libreoffice". At that location is a symlink to "../lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice", so $sd_res is set to "../lib64/libreoffice/program". The cd command in line 49 evaluates this relative to my home directory, so the command fails. If I change the symlink to "/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice", the fail behavior goes away. Thanks to all.
Correcting a detail in my problem description: Here's what happening: I invoke the program as "libreoffice". Based on my path, the $0 variable in line 43 is "/usr/lib64/qt4/bin/libreoffice". At that location is a symlink to "../lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice", so $sd_res is set to "../lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice". so `dirname "$sd_res"` results in "../lib64/libreoffice/program". The cd command in line 49 evaluates this relative to my home directory, so the command fails.
