Cannot run unoconv --listener

[quanvn1206]

i installed libreoffice5.0 and unoconv0.7 on ec2 amazon linux ami
then i cannot run unoconv --listener with error

Launch of /opt/libreoffice5.0/program/soffice.bin failed.
loading component library file:///opt/libreoffice5.0/program/../program/libmergedlo.so failed

thanks for support

is unoconv being run with python3? libreoffice5 ships with pyuno that only works in python3

You could be missing a dependency. Try running ldd /opt/libreoffice5.0/program/libmergedlo.so and see if any of the modules report as "not found". On aws I found that I needed dbus-glib installed.

Try these packages: http://www.tecmint.com/install-libreoffice-on-rhel-centos-fedora-debian-ubuntu-linux-mint/ (It worked for me)

Based on the output of ldd for libmergedlo.so, on CentOS 7 minimal, I was missing libGL and libcairo. Doing a yum install cairo fixed both for me.

The same on Gentoo (nomultilib profile), unoconv 0.7 and 0.8.2, libreoffice 5.4.4.2 or libreoffice-bin 5.4.2.2-r1, python 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 tried:

unoconv --listener &

Launch of /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin failed.
loading component library <file:///usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/../program/libmergedlo.so> failed

ldd /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/../program/libmergedlo.so seems ok though.

If anyone still has this issue, ping me and I'll try to help narrow this issue down.

@regebro I seem to have a similar issue. On amazon linux 2. Running unoconv I get the following output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "unoconv", line 842, in connect
    unocontext = resolver.resolve("uno:%s" % op.connection)
uno.NoConnectException: Connector : couldn't connect to socket (Connection refused)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "unoconv", line 1429, in <module>
    main()
  File "unoconv", line 1343, in main

ldd /opt/libreoffice6.2/program/../program/libmergedlo.so |grep not shows
libSM.so.6 => not found
libICE.so.6 => not found

The way that I installed LibreOffice was by downloading the rpm from here:
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/6.2.4/rpm/x86_64/

unzipping and doing
sudo yum -y install RPMS/*.rpm
which showed no errors

Edit/Update: I've solved my issue. I installed missing libSM and libICE and then everything worked.
sudo yum install libSM (this installs libICE as well)

Execute command yum install cups-libs and worked
