Hate to reply to my own message like this, but I did solve one of the two
problems.  I created /etc/libmap.conf based off the manpage for it and that
fixed evolution, but I am still having issues with OOo.  No matter what I
try, it refuses to launch any app and I need to kill -9 it from another
terminal.  I would hate to have to resort to a full OO port compile to get
this working as I don't care to deal with the Java dependancy issue, but
besides that, I am out of guesses.
