Looks like you've already checked all the things I would have suggested.

One option is to download a package off the OpenOffice.org site and install
that ... the only difficulty there is finding the older dependent packages
and
getting them installed first.

I should really do a "make package" on my setup and submit it to the
OpenOffice.org
folks ...
