It could be a permissions problem, but I'd more quickly suspect a
profile problem. I can't remember -- have you already tried moving
your prefs aside? Don't delete them, just rename them, Like this:

mv .openoffice.org2 .openoffice.org2.sav

Then try running it. If it runs, then you know the problem is
something in your .openoffice.org2, and you can either choose
to forget about it (if you don't have a lot of prefs already
saved) or to try substituting in one file at a time to figure
out what it is in your profile that's causing problems.
