I tested all, but nothing help me.
But – after I tray it as root and – voala! Calc opened, and very quickly!
I thing, start go-oo as root is not good idea…
I report bug to bugzilla.

If it still does not work, could you please provide the list of the installed ooo packages? You could get it by the command:

rpm -qa | grep -e ooobasis -e openoffice

BTW: Do you use KDE or GNOME? I wonder if it helps to uninstall ooobasis3.1-gnome-integration and ooobasis3.1-kde-integration.

Hmm, it is hard to say what is wrong on you system. It is possible that the installation is inconsistent (mixed upstream and Go-oo binaries). I would try to reinstall it. Please, remove all the OOo-related packages before. You might use the following commands:

1. remove all ooo related packages by the command: rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep -e ooobasis -e openoffice`
2. rm -rf /opt/openoffice.org3

If it does not help. Could you please report the bug at https://bugzilla.novell.com against the product “OpenOffice.org”? It would be great if you could attach strace, see http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:OOo#How_to_get_strace_log.

The bug will be solved by the developer who is responsible for the Go-oo linux build (I have only uploaded and announced it). Anyway, he would need the strace log.

I installed go-oo 3.1 en-US on my PC width Mandriva 2007.
When I start from xterm: /opt/openoffice.org3/program/scalc, I see splash-screen, and that is all.
No mistake from xterm.

Go-oo 3.0 has not problem. Openoffice 3.1 from Sun has not problem.
Go-oo 3.1 – only splash-screen.

Unfortunately, I see the bug in the Go-oo-3.1. We had time to include the fix but we missed the bug. We need to improve our "look-for-blocker-bugs" process.

I just tried Go-oo Calc and is much better than Calc in upstream OpenOffice.org version. Especially I want to thank you for data filter in Calc.

Is the #101690 fixed in Go-oo 3.1? Or how may I figure out? (without downloading and trying)

We do our best to release Go-oo at the same time as the upstream OOo is released. Unfortunately, it is not that easy because Go-oo has many extra changes and they need to be stabilized as well. The Go-oo release is usually delayed by few days or even weeks. The OOo-3.1 release was quite complicated. The upstream release was delayed by more than one month. The Go-oo release was delayed even more because we decided to have there OpenXML export in a useful state. Also the extended row limit in Calc caused some regressions that were discovered too late. We will do our best to avoid such a big delay in the future.

I was confusing when Open Office 3.1 was released a months ago and Go-oo 3.1 was released later. I didn´t know what to download. I thought that Go-oo was released at the same time.
Both products should be released at exactly the same time.
