I was able to compile a pure 64-bit OOo2 from the deb-src packages with
just kaffe and gcj (nothing from Sun installed). I think a lot of the
JRE-requiring items are optional and get disabled if you compile on a
machine with no JRE installed.
In response to the original question: I'm not sure what's wrong with
your 32bit installation. However, OOo2 works fine here natively with no
ia32-libs installed, you can just compile from the source in
experimental using "apt-get source -b openoffice.org2" (assuming you
have experimental deb-src lines in your sources.list). Be warned, the
compile takes about 8 hours on a fast machine and once or twice the
process stops and you have to fiddle source files and restart the
process with dpkg-buildpackage -uc -nc, but it does actually work and
I've had no problems with the resulting 64-bit oowriter2. I have the
resulting 64bit debs here if anybody has somewhere I could upload them.
