OpenOffice.org 3.0.0 and QSettings: failed to open file '/etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc'

Mon Oct 27 18:21:12 UTC 2008

Hi!

Installed Kubuntu 8.04.1 LTS (KDE 3.5.10) and latest kernel and other updates.

Running OpenOffice.org binary soffice at command line tells me:

QSettings: failed to open file '/etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc'

Checking that folder:
$ ls -l /etc/qt3/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   62 2007-10-12 18:06 kstylerc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  790 2007-10-12 18:06 lipstikstylerc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  837 2007-10-12 18:06 polyesterstylerc
-rw-r----- 1 root root 1058 2008-10-09 21:45 qt_plugins_3.3rc

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  143 2007-10-12 18:06 speedcrunchrc

I fixed that permission problem and now there is:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1058 2008-10-09 21:45 qt_plugins_3.3rc

No more that error message but OpenOffice.org 3.0.0 won't run :(

I looked inside the file:

$ cat /etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc

I also found the following addresses:
http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/opera-%2B-java-stuerzt-ab-%2B-qt-version-geht-nic/
removing or renaming /etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3r didn't help.

http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2006/05/28/%23ubuntu-devel.txt
I made symlink:
ln -s /etc/qt3 /etc/qt3-32
... but it didn't help me...

Currently after some time (several minutes) there might be happen, that OpenOffice.org 3.0.0 will run.

Then the following message appeared onto console after several minutes, when Openoffice.org 3.0.0 
started:
$ /opt/openoffice.org3/program/../basis-link/ure-link/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' 
not found (required by /usr/lib/qt3/plugins/inputmethods/libqscim.so)
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/../basis-link/ure-link/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not 
found (required by /usr/lib/qt3/plugins/inputmethods/libqscim.so)

Then I googled:
http://www.google.com/search?q=version+`GLIBCXX_3.4.9'+not+found
and found:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/usrliblibstdc.so.6-version-glibcxx3.4.9-not-found-required-by-.example1-604625/

Searching apt:
sudo apt-get update && apt-cache search glibcxx
... did not found nothing

Then I found:
http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.g++.help/msg/32c0df4f11ff018a but it's quite complicated...
http://autopackage.org/apbuild-apgcc.php - does anybody know, is this the solution? Or will this 
error fixed in next update?

I made some days ago complete remove (--purge conf files) to sun-java6*, firefox, openoffice.org3 
and then reinstalled again and everything worked. Even digital signing with Estonian ID-card worked 
again.

Thanks,
Edmund
