Were there any error messages?  You may have to start openoffice from an
xterm to see them.

Since I have a similar setup and experienced a similar problem, so the
following might help you.

The error message I saw indicated that libstlport_gcc3.0.so.4.5 was
missing.  Looking in /usr/lib/, I saw that there was a
libstlport_gcc_3.0.so.4.5 (note the extra underscore), so I made a link
from that to the one openoffice was looking for, and now openoffice
works just fine again.

# ln -s /usr/lib/libstlport_gcc_3.0.so.4.5 /usr/lib/libstlport_gcc3.0.so.4.5

(should be all one line)

My system has a couple different copies of libstlport installed, so be
sure to check what you have installed first, and make the link to the
closest one.

HTH,
