Wrong one. Purge that, the directory ans all ooo as advised previously. Go to: http://download.openoffice.org/680/?intcmp=1461 and download: Linux (deb) 147 MB the downloaded file will be: OOo_3.0.0rc2_20080920_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz Unpack and install the .debs from the resulting DEB directory. If you still are having problems drop me a note off-list and I'll help you.
