I had the same thing happen and could never figure out what went wrong, but
in the course of my looking I realized that the current version of
staroffice is not 3.1, but 5.0. It's on sunsite somewhere and installed
cleanly for me.
However, 5.0 seemed to me a little on the bloatware side; I also realized
that most of the typesetting part of my wordprocessing for school could be
done very nicely with TeX (or LaTeX) with about five typesetting commands in
a document of any given size. So I wound up not using it after all the
effor I went through to get it. Good thing it was free.
