Title: Libreoffice error: libboost_locale.so (no such file or directory)
Post by: Linux_fan on 11 October 2022, 16:55:46
After the latest update yesterday, I got this message when I ran libreoffice.

Code: [Select]
$ libreoffice
javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!
Warning: failed to read path from javaldx
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_locale.so.1.79.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm using libreoffice-fresh.

Any help is appreciated.

Symlink the missing shared library to whatever libboost_locale library version you have.
On my system:
Code: [Select]
/usr/lib/libboost_locale.so.1.79.0 -> libboost_locale.so.1.80.0

What version of libreoffice are you using? libreoffice-fresh is in the universe repos now and it is linked against boost 1.80.0

This did the trick. Many thanks!

LibreOffice 7.4.0.3, but when I ran

Code: [Select]
#pacman -Ss libreoffice

Nothing happened. I couln't even reinstall from the repos (world).

Thanks for the reply.

Right that's because libreoffice is no longer in the world repos but in universe. Your version is out of date. See this thread (https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,4551.msg29273.html).
