That is also what I used, and it works fine for me (on Ubuntu 10.10).

You mentioned that it installs into /opt (which is does for me, too),
but you are running soffice - do you have a libreoffice executable in
your path (s/b in /usr/bin) and have you tried that?  It's a shell
script that sets up the proper execution environment to run
/opt/libreoffice/program/soffice (which is also a shell script that
runs the soffice.bin executable).

If this is not how you're running LO, something else may be wrong with
your installation that is beyond my scope of involvement.

HTH.
