dvips

If you get an "error during the processing of dvips" when pressing "Latex" on lucid Ubuntu, it might be due to a problem with dvips.
I checked by trying dvips on the console and got an error of the form "dvips: free(): invalid pointer: 0x..."
I was able to solve the problem by adding the following line at the beginning of the OOoLatex.sh file (found under ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/1WBAJI_/OOoLatex-4.0.0-beta-2-linux.oxt):
export MALLOC_CHECK_=1
