I have installed Staroffice 5.2 from /usr/ports/editors/staroffice52

To do the install, I started X as root, cd'd into that directory and
did a make install.

I went through the GUI install, and then exited X. I then logged back
in as myself, and in /usr/ports/editors/staroffice52, I did 
make install-user

I launched the GUI installer again and asked me for my registration
details, my installation type (complete or network user) and the
target dir. I selected network user as the install type.

It then when through and installed.
now when I execute ~/office52/soffice, I get the following error
printed in the staroffice install type environment:

---- ERROR ----
In the Staroffice 5.2 installation, the following file
could not be found!  

/home/waynep/office52/user/sofficerc
---- ERROR ----

I then have the option to repair or cancel. I have tried both with no
success. If I say repair, it waits a while and then presents me with a
complete button. Clicking this returns me to my shell. re-running it
gives the same error again. Clicking the cancel button just returns me
to my shell.

/home/waynep/office52/user/sofficerc does exist and is 664. It has
content.

Has anyone come accross this before and does anyone know how I could
go about fixing it ?

Thanks,
