CentOS - Mar 2008 - OpenOffice won't start up

Hi,

I just ran an install of OpenOffice 2.31 on Centos 5.1 using these instructions
- http://www.melvilletheatre.com/articles/openoffice-fedora/index.html

Install seemed to go fine until I finished and then tried to start up K writer
and none of the OO apps will start up from the menu. even though they are all
showing up in start menu that 2.3 is installed. I'm using KDE mostly but
have gnome installed also.

Can anyone give me an idea as to how to correct?

Thanks.

K Writer?  That sounds very much like Koffice, which is a completely different
program than OpenOffice.   You won't be able to use Koffice if you
haven't
installed Koffice.

What happens when you type "ooffice" or "soffice" at a
terminal window prompt?
