Umm, a little more specific information would be helpful: OS (distro), OOo version for starters, and exactly what you tried that didn't work.

Checking the system logs on my Fedora 7 system[1], I see messages like this when I run any recent releases (2.2.x or 2.3.x) downloaded from OO.org:

|| Oct 14 23:27:13 duros setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing

|| sealert -l f3df2cec-e46f-4bda-9169-84292c35bbff

Running the command given there, I see (among a ton of other information), this:

|| The following command will allow this access:
|| chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /opt/openoffice.org/program/libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1

Running that command fixes the problem for me.

There is also a handy desktop applet that provides a nice GUI version of the same info.

Make sure you use the exact path to the file that causes the problem--yours will certainly be different than what is shown here, or what you find in someone else's instructions.
