I can't explain why your setup fails but I've installed from both LXM CD & LXF DVD
into Mandrake 8.2, here's how I did it if it helps.

1) su to root
2) cd /tmp
3) tar -xzvf  /mnt/cdrom/Office/OpenOffice/OOo_1.0.0_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz/
4) cd /tmp/install
5) ./install
6) NOW back out of ROOT and back to myself as USER
7) made sure I was still in /tmp/install and typed ./setup
