When I was installing SO5.1 on a -stable system, the setup program did not extract some of the libraries and therefore couldn't find them, even though LD_LIBRARY_PATH was set. Very strange. I had to extract the missing libraries just like described in the HOWTO.

The StarOffice script begins with the line: #!/bin/sh and therefore it will look for `test' in its real location and not /compat/linux.
