I think that your problems may have come from Mandriva. That is
because the OOo version that comes with Mandriva is installed
in /etc/openoffice.org-2.1. It might also install the
file: /usr/bin/openoffice.org-2.1.
I use Mandriva, myself (version 2007), and I have used 10.2. The
default installation of Mandriva includes OOo, and it is placed in
the /etc/ folder. I always make sure that OOo is deselected during
the install to avoid this problem. Then I use the RPM command from
the command line (Konsole) to install OOo.
