This is a symlink you put there, right?
However, if I execute /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice from the terminal,
openoffice runs.
The best way to launch OpenOffice is to make a shell alias. If this is
unacceptable to you, make a one-line shell script that in turn launches
/opt/openoffice4/program/soffice and it will work too.
So, soffice script takes arg0 and blithely assumes that <arg0>.bin exists,
and tries to exec it.
Why should a script assume that? It is at least dangerous, especially if
executed by a superuser!!
This is how it works indeed: sd_binary=`basename "$0"`.bin
I haven't investigated it further, but if the .bin file needs to be in
the (non user-writable) "program" directory too this could be a
mitigating factor. Development-related matters are discussed on the dev
list http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html where you can raise
the issue or propose patches to the shell script.

Andrea.
