I've seen this one myself. The StarOffice installation process is
dearchiving files in /tmp, then attempting to run using those files as
shared libraries. For some (unknown) reason, the dynamic linking fails
on some systems. It's hard to track down beyond that, because the
(*)&&(^% StarOffice installation process cleans up all the files you
need to diagnose it after the failure.
Anyway, the workaround is to make a package on one of the machines
you've got it installed on properly, then install the package. You can
then run ${PREFIX}/office52/program/soffice to do the per-user
installation process.
