OpenOffice - Unrecoverable Error - Debian Sarge

[David Nicholls <hagakure@nildram.co.uk>]

Hi There,

I did a standard apt-get install openoffice.org to install open office.

When starting open office, I get the splash screen come up, but then 
before the application actually starts (any open office package) I get a 
box come up with: Unrecoverable error, and open office closes.

Anyone had the same problem/found a fix?

I can't find any references in any logs and just saying unrecoverable 
error doesn't help me solve the problem!! the same thing is happening on 
both the office computers.

Thanks

Dave
