#1

I downloaded libreoffice4.2(4.2.7.2,4.2.8.2,4.3.7.2,4.4.7.2)-x86-64.rpm.tar.gz from archive, and did

[zenkato@p5b program]$ ./soffice

the image comes up, but it disappears quickly, and it couldn’t boot.

The other versions from x86-64.rpm.tar.gz could boot on fedora32 and 33.

libreoffice3.6.7.2 some warning but could boot.

libreoffice5(5.0.6.3,5.1.6.2,5.2.7.2,5.3.7.2,5.4.7.2) some errors but could boot.

libreoffice6(6.0.7.3,6.1.6.3,6.2.8.2,6.3.6.2) some errors but could boot.

libreoffice7(7.1.7.2)some error but could boot

only version 4.2 couldn’t boot! why?

[zenkato@p5b ~]$ uname -r

5.11.17-200.fc33.x86_64

[zenkato@p5b ~]$ java -version

openjdk version “1.8.0_292”

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_292-b10)

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.292-b10, mixed mode)

#2

What is your specific purpose for installing outdated and retired version?

#3

why?

Likely because there was some problem with this combination. Is this a satisfactory answer? Otherwise do you expect that someone tries to reproduce this, and starts investigating what is absolutely not needed to everyone except a single person in the world, and knowing which would not benefit anyone in the future (because the problem is obviously fixed long ago)? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Please be reasonable and consider how relevant such a question might be.

#4

Check if some library is missing that version needs, i.e. preset LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctly like it’s done in the /opt/libreoffice/program/soffice startup script and execute

ldd /opt/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin

(or wherever that version’s soffice.bin was installed to) and watch out for missing objects reports.

Update:

If you really need to get such an old 4.x version working and the provided pre-build doesn’t work on a modern distribution, then you could obtain the source and compile it yourself. See Source Code | LibreOffice - Free Office Suite - Based on OpenOffice - Compatible with Microsoft
