The openerp-server script has:
#!/bin/sh
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/lib/openoffice/program:/usr/lib/openoffice/ure/lib:/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/program
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/openoffice/ure/lib:/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/program

cd /usr/lib/openerp-server
exec /usr/bin/python2.5 ./openerp-server.py $@

Environment is Ubuntu 9.10, OpenERP 5.05 Modules installed using Ubuntu package manager.

I suspect that it may be due to a difference in required modules???
Any suggestions?

Firstly try if this module (uno) works at all for your particular python version, OOo should be compiled exactly against python version you use for OpenERP.
Execute those export variables, then try in python console import uno module with commands:

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jun 15 2008, 18:24:56)
[GCC 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import uno
>>> import pyuno
>>>

if there are no error messages then, should investigate elsewhere.

Well actually I got this error too. After spending many hours and trying many times, I can install it successfully. The error is due to different Python versions of the one for launching openerp and Ooo python.
It failed when I use Python2.5 for launching OpenERP server and ln -s /usr/bin/python2.5 to /opt/openoffice.../program/python.bin.
Change all to Python2.6. It works like a charm!
You may try to know which Python version works for you by typing same commands in different Python interpreters:
>>> import uno
>>> import pyuno
>>> pyuno.getClass( "com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException" )

Which version succeeds in those commands is the one you should use.

Hi Normunds,
Iam not having any python knowledge.For docconversion of items I tried to use one python script when I ran that file I get the following error.I know there is mismatch of versions of the modules but I dont know exact process how to resolve the issue.
Please provide me the solution .... thanks in advance

Error code:

Please pay attention to this warning...

RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module gfx: This Python has API version 1012, module gfx has version 1013.

Obviously you have some version mismatch of libraries. Although we are providing free help (read "help") on generic cases, and free support where there seem to be bugs, but we can not provide free support for installation problems specific to your system.
