Can you look into /usr/bin/soffice and see where your soffice.bin file is
located?

This issue needs to be addressed in jodconverter rather than in XWiki. I
have asked Mirko a similar question some time ago:
http://groups.google.com/group/jodconverter/browse_thread/thread/5300d34d71dfbefc?pli=1

According to the current jodconverter implementation, it looks for a
OFFICE_HOME/program/soffice.bin file. And it will not work if this structure
is not present.

Previously this is the way officeimporter used to work. But with the upgrade
to jodconverter-3.0 beta, this is no longer possible :( I need to dig around
a bit and see if this mode can be supported.

Thanks.
