After a little scanning of the OO.o forums, it looks like I might be
right, however the problems seem to consist mostly from headless
servers, and not from workstations.
Does your $HOME point to /home/wayne? Many are reporting that it, in
fact, is pointing to /root, which is giving the error in CREATION [as
it'd be permission problems]. If it seems pointed correctly, try
chmod'ing ~/.openoffice or ~/.openoffice2 [depending on which version
you're using].
And, a third fallback, try running with -nofirststartwizard
Hopefully some of this will help;
