Sorry to answer my own question but I solved this. It took me a while
to understand that it was zlib1g package that contained the missing
lib file. I downloaded it and followed the instructions from
../ia32-libs/README.Debian to install additional lib files as
proposed. Now, openoffice works swimmingly.

Thank you all for your help.
