Hmmm...I just tried this, finally, and I can't seem to get it to work. I get
the following error messages:

soffice.bin: error in loading shared libraries
soffice.bin: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What has changed in the last month or so? Perhaps the slink version of libc?
