It appears that OOo 2.0.4 *does* work under 32-bit Edgy. I think that
you've already demonstrated that 2.1 doesn't work either in 64, but you
might want to go through the exercise just to be sure. Any other AMD64
users on other distros having the same problem?

I'm scheduled to buy a new motherboard this week for my old 300Mhz tower
test machine; maybe I'll buy a amd64 so that I can test/share the
misery... what MB do you have?

BTW: You may have seen this already, but:

notice the Java bits "You have to have a 64bit Java installed. The
following are known to work". Perhaps going back to Blacktown Java will
fix the problem?
