If you have installed everything and done the required configuration, you will have a script, .sd.sh, installed in your home directory. Running that will modify some environments, including $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This will place the required lib files in your library path so you will no longer get that message and swriter will work. Check 'echo $LD-LIBRARY-PATH' to see if /usr/local/StarOffice-3.1/-linux-x86/lib really is in that path. There is now a mini-HOWTO for StarOffice, based on beta4, but it is applicable to the released 3.1 version. It is contained in doc-linux_97.05-1.deb in /unstable and can also be found at sunsite.unc.edu and other major Linux sites.
