I have Lycoris and have been using OOo succesfully for a few years (if 
you count 5.2).  Last week, I got the following error and it persists.  
Here is what I did, what I've checked and what errors I get.

I uninstalled and deleted anything to do with OpenOffice from my 
system.  Using the tarball, I recreated the entire thing with the -net 
install in /usr/OpcnOffice.org1.0.1.  I deleted jre first (in case that 
was the problem) and now have jre 1.3.0, which is older and not 
compatible with OOo.  I also investigated the problem and can now be 
more specific.  (Please don't suggest I get a compatible jre, as I had 
it and still had all the problems listed below).

1.  Changing default fonts does absolutely nothing (except change the 
default fonts).
2. In the Help Files, the index portion (left side) is perfect.  On the 
right side (the actual help files), I get Headings, Icons and 
Hyperlinks.  The Hyperlinks show up as underlines (no names or other 
indication of what they might link to).  There is NO text -- none, nada.
3. Everything else works like it used to.
4. No other program is affected by this.
5. The following odd problem occurs from time to time -- always as four 
of these. 

SIOCGIFADDR got '00:00:00:00:00:00'
SIOCGIFADDR got '00:00:00:00:00:00'
SIOCGIFADDR got '00:00:00:00:00:00'
SIOCGIFADDR got '00:00:00:00:00:00'

I note "ADDR" which I assume refers to an address, and "GIF" which may 
mean a .gif file, but have no idea what "SIOC" means.  Apparently I 
have a failure in the address of a .gif file.  The .gif files are in:
/usr/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/share/gallery/rulers
and appear okay.

6: I also get the occasional error:

kioslave : ###############SEG FAULT#############

7.  Keep in mind that I have been running 1.0.1 since it came out with 
no problems until this past week when my help files decided to become 
unusable.

So far the help offered amounts to: a) did you set your fonts up 
correctly? -- ans: yes, b) can you change fonts and make it work? -- 
ans: no, c) how terrible that you had OOo set up under /root -- this 
will never work -- ans: But it did for nearly a year, still, a change 
to /usr made no change, and d) do a full reinstall -- ans: okay, still 
no change and (oh, yeah) e) did you set up user in the right place? -- 
ans: yes, in {HOMEDIR}/OpenOffice.org1.01, where it's been working fine 
for the past year.

Is there an environment variable that might help?  Or, better yet, does 
anyone know what might cause the errors listed in 5. and 6.?

Now I understand so much, I'm clueless.
