There is no /usr/bin/libreoffice
LibreOffice is installed in /opt/libreoffice
the bin file is
/opt/libreoffice/program/soffice
(and, of course, there are swriter, scalc, etc. in there to run
individual components).
This was the result of installing the 64bit .deb files.
This is on a brand new machine, so there were no previous versions.
I do have OOo 2.4 on here, but I have both, OOo and LO running peacefully
together on another computer with the same system (Debian/Lenny) with
no problem,
the only difference being that the other system is
32bit/Intel-Celeron, and this one is AMD64.

It occurs to me that there is, likely, some kind of permissions
problem somewhere,
since I can run libreoffice as root, but not as user.

The only alteration I made to the default install was adding a symlink
to libcario.so.2
in /opt/libreoffice/basis3.3/program (because, at first, I got an
error saying said lib
could not be found there, so, since LO was looking for it there, I symlinked it
from /usr/lib/ where it is).  The link has the same permissions as other libs
that are also symlinked in the same directory, so, it would seem my
symlinking is not where the problem lies.
ls -l shows
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       22 2011-01-09 04:18 libcairo.so.2 ->
/usr/lib/libcairo.so.2
You will note that the permissions are similar to those for libs that
the install
correctly symlinked by default, such as:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       18 2011-01-08 17:57 libicudata.so.40 ->
libicudata.so.40.1

So, it seems like a permissions issue, since root can run it, but
joeuser can not,
but, for the life of me, I can't identify where the problem lies.
I can't make heads nor tails of the error it gives me, and know nothing of
java programming.  (were this tcl I could probably figure something out,
possibly ever were it perl or python, maybe...a stretch, but possible...but
java? olvidate...not a chance)
