Never mind, I downloaded SO5.2 from www.sun.com, and ran the
setup (as root) on a RH7.1. 

The setup prompted me for a directory to install "StarOffice
components" in, so I chose /usr/local/lib/office52 which seemed
appropriate to me. The installation proceeded smoothly. I don't recall
any surprises along the way. In the end, I symlinked
/usr/local/bin/soffice to /usr/local/lib/office52/programs/soffice.

Then I tried to start soffice (as a regular user). All I got was a 
popup saying that it can't find /usr/local/lib/office52/user/sofficerc.
It offered me two buttons: Repair and Cancel. Repair throws me out 
to the shell, with return code 0. Cancel brings up another popup that
says "Do you really want to exit the StarOffice 5.2 installation
program? [Yes/No]" which surprised me a lot, since it is installed
already (or at least I thought so). The shell return code is still 0.

I figured that the file (which was there, of course) had wrong
permissions, (it was 644), so I changed it to 666. Now soffice
silently presents me with a shell prompt, with 0 return code.

As root, it starts normally. I have not tried to do anything yet,
because I do not intend to do anything with it as root.

StarOffice users of Israel, please tell me what have I screwed up?
