Description Dwayne MacKinnon 2008-03-22 05:00:03 UTC
I recently set up my FreeBSD machine with multiple user accounts for the first time to accomodate some house guests. When I did so, I discovered that openoffice.org-2.3.1 would hang when it attempted to open a document of any kind. Running it from the console produced these glib errors:

(process:82983): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2242: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function

(process:82983): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed

(process:82983): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed

This occured for my new users only; my own account was unaffected, So, I attempted to track down the problem. I soon discovered that it was my .openoffice.org-2 directory with its config information that was the key.

I tracked the problem down to .openoffice.org2/user/config/soffice.cfg/modules directory.

In my original account, there were subdirectories for scalc and swriter as well as the StartModule directory. In the new account, neither of those subdirectories (scalc or swriter) existed.

Copying either directory to .openoffice.org2/user/config/soffice.cfg/modules solved the problem.

Fix: 

I only have the workaround I mentioned above; I will be happy to provide the contents of either directory if people believe it would be useful.
How-To-Repeat: Install openoffice.org-2.3.1. In a new user account, open the program, and after filling out the initial information, try to open a document.

Can you try adding --with-system-zlib to your port Makefile
CONFIGURE_ARGS and recompile OpenOffice?

What compilation options are you using? I assume you have WITH_KDE=yes, 
what else? Can you try turning the quick start feature off?

On my OOO 2.4 without KDE integration everything works fine.
