Try the following:
1. install as root, say in /usr/local/lib/Office51
2. login as a regular user, create the file ~/.sversionrc with these
two lines (replace /home/luoqi with your own home directory):
[Versions]
StarOffice 5.1=/home/luoqi/.soffice
3. create directory ~/.soffice
4. cd ~/.soffice
5. cp /usr/local/lib/Office51/sofficerc .
6. cp -r /usr/local/lib/Office51/{config,store} .
7. mkdir Desktop basic download agent bookmark explorer
mkdir template autotext gallery wordbook backup database work
8. run /usr/local/lib/Office51/bin/soffice
You should effectively have a multiuser installation.
