Right. What I meant is that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set automatically when 
running a UNO application written in Java that needs to bootstrap 
OpenOffice.org. Since soffice would only be run at this point (at bootstrap), 
the JVM will never even be able to find soffice 
in /usr/local/openoffice-***/program, because this entry would only be added 
to LD_LIBRARY_PATH by soffice itself (and this is circular).

This is why I was suggesting to update system-wide LD_LIBRARY_PATH. But if 
this is considered too intrusive, then perhaps install a symlink to soffice 
in /usr/local/lib (libexec?).
