I've just installed LibreOffice 4.0.0.3 on my Centos 5.9 system. the 
previous version (3.4.x) was working fine. But 4.0.0.3 won't start up.
When run from a terminal it prints:

no suitable windowing system found, exiting.

Is this yet another case of apps moving on beyond compatibility with
the older components in C5?

Or any hints for making it work?

Thanks!
