Yes, a symlink does not work here. Much OOo Java code (residing in jar files in program/classes) needs to find other OOo files (native libraries etc.) and does so using NativeLibraryLoader (jurt/com/sun/star/lib/util/NativeLibraryLoader.java:1.9). NativeLibraryLoader effectively goes up the directory hierarchy one level from program/classes to program to locate those files. That of course breaks if program/classes is a symlink to somewhere else.

Much OOo code (Java and C++) is working in ways that will break if the OOo installation structure is changed. This is often problematic, and should overall be changed I think. However, it also implies that whoever now fiddles with the OOo installation structure causes pain, not only to those poor souls that happen to use the deviating installation, but also to all community members who help to sort out the mess.
