Openoffice 4.1.2/4.1.3 crashes on fedora 24

The issue:

Openoffice crashes when launching the application

(/opt/openoffice4/program/soffice: line 121: 5646 
Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@")

Solution :

It is actually a bug

It is related to some gtk2 libraries

Step 1
~]$ ldd -v /opt/openoffice4/program/libvclplug_gtk.so

Step 2
.....
       libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0 => not found
.....
if output like this comes out, install it using dnf

~]$dnf install gdk-pixbuf2-xlib

In my case it was gdk-pixbuf2-xlib* making the problem

Cheers
