Well, it seems that some Linux distros (like Kanotix) that come with OO2, do not come with a 'full install'. I noticed that the Debian openoffice.org meta package was not installed, nor was openoffice.base. The meta package installs some arcane and obscure libs that I didn't have (about 7 of them). Once I did apt-get install openoffice.org these libs and other voodoo programs :-) got installed and guess what.... the file opened just fine. Lesson to be learned. If your distribution comes with OO2, you might consider reinstalling it anyway to make sure you get all the libs, files, and other stuff you need (and there is a lot of it!!!)
