Applixware 4.4.1 : Could not start /opt/applix/axdata/filters/olefilter/olefilter

Applies to

Applix: Version 4.4.1

Symptom:

You are starting with Applixware 4.4.1 the new JAVA based MS Office 97 document import filter. But instead of displaing the Wizard an error message pops up:
Could not start /opt/applix/axdata/filters/olefilter/olefilter

Cause:

The error is not located yet. It shows up more frequently on workstations using ISDN hardware or PPP network connections. For other systems an old version of libc5 seems to be the cause.

Solution:

A solution is not know yet, but the following procedures have been successeful in some cases:
  1. Install all patches located at http://www.suse.de/patches/applix_update.html

  2. Install a new version of libc (libc.so.5.4.46 or the last version before glibc 2.0.7).

  3. Sometimes a complete update has been suceccesful. Linux Office Suite 99 does contain a full base SuSE Linux 5.3 system.

  4. For some older systems (eg. Red Hat 4.2) the included JAVA of Applixware needs an own libc which has been removed before releasing the package. Please copy the file ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_u pdate/Applix/4.4.1/libc5/libc.so.5.gz

    to /opt/applix/jre115/lib/i386/green_threads/ and unzip it there using gunzip.

  5. Changes to the network configuration also have been successful (just check your /etc/hosts file again). Make shure that
    ping localhost
    
    is working.

  6. You have a glibc based Linux System, eg. Debian 2.0 and installed on top of that the libc5 packages of Applixware. In this case please install the glibc packages.
