Were there any error messages? You may have to start openoffice from an xterm to see them. Since I have a similar setup and experienced a similar problem, so the following might help you. The error message I saw indicated that libstlport_gcc3.0.so.4.5 was missing. Looking in /usr/lib/, I saw that there was a libstlport_gcc_3.0.so.4.5 (note the extra underscore), so I made a link from that to the one openoffice was looking for, and now openoffice works just fine again. # ln -s /usr/lib/libstlport_gcc_3.0.so.4.5 /usr/lib/libstlport_gcc3.0.so.4.5 (should be all one line) My system has a couple different copies of libstlport installed, so be sure to check what you have installed first, and make the link to the closest one.
