Hi Caio Tiago,

thank you *very* much, your directions worked right "out of the book"! ;)

First I deinstalled the Ubuntu OOo, then followed your instructions and
was able to install the genuine OOo from the OOo homepage, getting the
standard installation tree on the /opt branch.

Could get the Java program to run from the command line, ie.
bootstrapping OOo worked!

The Ubuntu layout you described in a previous mail (libs in /usr/lib/openoffice/program, jars in /usr/share/java/openoffice) cannot work (at least not without some modifications to the OOo code base). Not sure why Ubuntu decided to ship a broken OOo (maybe they are not even aware of it, maybe you can file them an issue).

[However, the Extension manager on the tools menu does not work either
in this version; it does from the commandline, though, ie. "unopkg"
works there.]

What is broken with the extension manager?

Again, thank you *very* much for your kind and exact help!

P.S.: Will take another look into the OOo installation as coming from
Ubuntu (also Suse, I found out).
