Please try to move all your existing openoffice related files in
your home directory and then run the setup program manually

ok, i can enter it as ROOT and do whatever I want, but not as normal user i'll copy all the Ximian-openoffice dir (located in /opt/Ximian-openoffice) to /home/xxx/.Ximian-Openoffice and see what'll happen!

ok:

if i run it as root it's working but not if i'll run it as normal user

what should i do just repair the actual openoffice installation as root and watch what this does?

ok here is the problem i think:

if i do repair it would try to repair this folder:

/root/.xopenoffice/1.1.2

and there is no folder like this:

/home/xxx/.xopenoffice/1.1.2 so the normal user has no configuration but how can i make normal user to have a configuration?

Since it also doesn't work for the binary openoffice it is likely not
a problem with openoffice itself, but rather involves some location
OO tries to access but can't as regular user.

Check the file

NO WAY!

Ok, i'm bak to the first installation:

the only folders existing are:

/opt/Ximian-OpenOffice/*

and

/root/.xopenoffice.org/1.1.2/*

nothing else

Openoffice is working great with ROOT but with no other normal user!!!
