Alas, now that I have the tarball, extracted and installed, it fails to run:

The system is set to use English (USA). It makes no difference if I explicitly "export LANG=en-US" before starting -- it still complains about not being able to determine the interface language.

My self-compiled 64-bit OOo-2.4.1 works fine on the same system 
(Fedora8-x86_64).

Problem found, fixed. Installing the rpms as "root" set ownership for the /opt/openoffice3 hierarchy to "root:root" with read/execute permissions on the /opt/openoffice.org3/share/uno_packages/* directories set only for owner and group. Doing "chown -R root:users /opt/openoffice3/" allowed mortal users to access and read the important configuration directories and start OOo properly.
