I'd recommend NOT having OO or SOs libraries in your system path.  One - They
were not meant to be there, Two - they will slow everything down as it makes a
larger symbol table for the dynamic linker to walk through.

The wrapper script "soffice" in your installation directory should set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc... for you automatically.  In your programs directory you
should have scalc, swriter, simpress, etc... scripts.  Don't run soffice.bin
directly,  it is just a mother for application components.

If you want specific apps to start you can either call the specific script (in
the network programs directory if you did a network install) or

soffice private:factory/scalc
soffice private:factory/sdraw
soffice private:factory/simpress
soffice private:factory/smath
soffice private:factory/swriter
where "soffice" is the wrapper script.
