Does anyone have an idea of why running this with 'sudo' works but not without? I removed OO v2.4.2 and reinstalled it my user directory without sudo. I removed my ~/.openoffice* directories after install. I also ensured the directories where file I/O is occurring are owned by my user account and are writeable.
Another oddity is trying to pull up the macro security dialog locks up openoffice unless I start soffice with sudo. Any help understanding these user-mode limitations would be greatly appreciated.
