I have read and followed the OWB Installation Manual that Origin wrote, but am having a problem. I have skipped (for the moment) the optional section 2.5 installing fonts. I just want to see it working first. I believe that I have done everything else indicated in the manual. When I type "OWB" into a shell from the directory where OWB is located, a window comes up that is labeled "ELF Library" which contains the message "Unknown/unsupported Reloc". I'm guessing that this is trying to tell me that there is probably some other piece of software or library that is needed that I either do not have or is not up to date. Can someone please enlighten me?

OWB needs the current version of AmigaOS4, you don't have the July 2007 update installed, at least your elf.library.kmod is from an older version of AmigaOS4.
I also have a problem getting OWB to start, but for me it just crashes with an ISI 80% of the times I try to start it.
I tried removing all .so files and installing the .so from OWB 1.21 and 1.24 but apparently more are lacking. Probably some from OS4 July, right?
But I used to have these, and I have the Cyberbit.ttf installed with typemanager. It still gives me an ISI (almost) everytime I try to start it and Snoopy doesn't report anything at all. I have removed cookies.
I start from the icon (WB) which is the original icon with 512k stack and no tooltypes changed.
Please help?
I have had it running, and the last time the ISI came after the window had opened. I seem to recall that the ISI is somewhere in the zero page. Those times I don't got an ISI at startup OWB run fine until I closed it.

Some of the shared objects included in OS4 are required as well, for example libc.so, libstdc++.so and libpthread.so, but if one is missing you get an elf.library error requester, not a crash, and for example Python wont work any more either if you deleted the shared objects included in OS4.
I understand I break some other programs by removing the .sos, so I backed them up of course. Will reinstall only those three you mentioned and try again.
I'll post or upload a crashlog when I get home.

It's similar to the problems Raziel has, it's executing random code instead of the correct function but in your case there aren't even any shared objects involved, the function it should have called is in the OWB executable itself. No idea why it doesn't work for 3 or 4 users
Please try if Python works, after reinstalling the shared objects included in OS4 you deleted, or if it crashes as well.
I should note that all my SOs have the exact same md5sum as those of ZeroG (see the news on AW.net). I have all in SObjs: and none in the OWB dir. Perhaps we can rule out the SOs and go on to the toolbar images and fonts needed?? Something I should know??
I noticed that OWB v1.2x does not include the toolbar images, but I still have them in my OWB dir!
Python crashed with a DSI when I just executed "python" in a shell in ram: with the assign set.
It's a newlib crash. Do I need a newer OS4 beta newlib? It requires v3.9 but I have v52.33..?

OWB doesn't need any fonts (except for the DejaVu ones included in OS4) or images, the Aminet OWB 1.21 archive is complete and just extracting it, without installing anything, and starting OWB has to work. (The only exception is curl-ca-bundle.crt which has to be in DEVS: to make SSL, i.e. https:// urls, work.)

There never were any toolbar images in OWB archives, if AISS is installed it's using the images from AISS (TBImages:home, TBImages:home_s, TBImages:home_g, etc.), if AISS isn't installed OWB uses text buttons instead.

Of course not, the version of Python included in OS4 just needs the version of newlib.library included in the same OS4 release.
But the python crashlog makes no sense at all, c:python is a tiny executable with only about 1.6 KB code which just calls functions in libpython25.so but in your crashlog are offsets of over 1.1 MB from the start of the python executable!?

Just as an update: I just changed my Vcore from 1.59V to 1.64V on my G4 7455 (933MHz 1.85V version, running at 866MHz) and now OWB 1.24 starts every time!!

Now I get zero-page exceptions everytime I try to start python:

Just a small update on this: I *think* I get these ISIs on startup (either before or after the window has opened) if I move the mouse while it is starting!
Since I never start OWB from shell, but from the icon or IBrowse I tend to move the mouse after launching it.
I need to confirm this, but I did notice two crashes when I moved the mouse a lot, and one correct start when I didn't move the mouse at all.
First I thought it could have to do with if the mouse is over the window when it opens, but it leans towards mouse move instead perhaps....

It always happens when OS4 is executing for a while, and when you execute some operations while you open OWB...for example close IBrowse, chat with WookieChat etc... I'm scared every way I launch OWB, because I know it could crash during loading...
ok, forget it!, i reinstalled OS4.1 straight from the cd and now it worked fine again (OWB (both versions) so i guess either my hdd is screwing up or some beta file did all of this.

Same stuff here. Usually after some networking in python I checked several times with no avail (and checking again atm). Here crashlog is 75.

It starts without problems here, but it does freeze very often, 1 hour of continuous use would be unheard of. I don't have a lot of RAM, true, but there's usually over 90 MB available when I'm using OWB 2.19, or some of the slightly older ones.

Are you using AmigaOS 4.0? Other AmigaOS 4.0 users have the same problem, but I have no idea why it freezes, it doesn't on AmigaOS 4.1, and I currently don't have AmigaOS 4.0 installed to test it myself. It would help to know with which version of OWB exactly the problems started on AmigaOS 4.0.
Yes, I use 4.0. I think I have had 2.15, 2.17, 2.18 and 2.19 installed each, maybe even ran them, but I can't say which it is and guessing isn't helping.
