Description Graham 2011-07-11 02:58:01 UTC
I posted the following information on the forum and am advised I should make a bug report:

1.
Can someone tell me what has happened to NLPsolver? Building it into the program was a good idea but it seems to have gone flaky. On 3.4.1 (deb) (UBUNTU 11.04-32 bit on laptop) it doesn’t work at all and I just see a few flashes and no result while on 3.4.0 Windows 7 I just have to click the Solver button for LIBO-calc to crash instantly, leaving an inaccessible soffice running which has to be brought down using task manager before I can start again.

On my laptop I have reverted to OpenOffice and the imported extension to recover this facility which is an essential feature of my work and the main reason for migrating from Excel’s ropy equivalent. On the desktop I have had to export to XLS format and use Microsoft again.

If the built in extension doesn’t work can it be easily removed and the original version imported?

I am replying to my own post. I spent all this afternoon trying to solve this on my Windows 7 machine. IT IS NOT LO’s fault!! I tried LO3.4.1, LO3.3 and OO3.3 and the nlpsolver was failing on everything!!!. Did a little hunt, backdated IE9 to IE8 and nlpsolver works in all of them.

I also found I was having other problems with calc in that it was trying to resurrect non-existent files and then crashing on start. Again getting rid of IE9 has fixed it!

I don’t know if this is any use to anyone, but somehow updating to IE9 breaks LO/OO. Has anyone else experienced this?

That is definitely a bug that should be reported!

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
