I've been trying to install OpenOffice as well (openoffice-linux for NetBSD 1.6.2), and I'm having a slightly different problem with the setup script.  I set the SOFFICE variable (to ~/.openoffice, but I get the same result with the default).  I run soffice, and I get a message that the setup script is running.  It stops after three or four seconds with a message that the file ~/.openoffice/soffice was not found.  A quick check shows that the directory was not created.  The package was a precompiled binary from the packages iso for i386.  I have installed the suse-linux compatability binary package as well.  Do I need to enable that somehow?  

Cheers,
