If you have installed everything and done the required configuration, you
will have a script, .sd.sh, installed in your home directory.  Running
that will modify some environments, including $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  This will
place the required lib files in your library path so you will no longer
get that message and swriter will work.

Check 'echo $LD-LIBRARY-PATH' to see if
/usr/local/StarOffice-3.1/-linux-x86/lib really is in that path.

There is now a mini-HOWTO for StarOffice, based on beta4, but it is
applicable to the released 3.1 version.  It is contained in 
doc-linux_97.05-1.deb in /unstable and can also be found at 
sunsite.unc.edu and other major Linux sites.
