Can't start open office from the terminal

[jheffheffer]

I don't know if this pertains to Open Office, but previously I was able to start Open Office from the terminal by entering the command 'ooffice'. Now when I enter that command, nothing happens.

My os is CentOS and I am remotely connecting to a server. To my knowledge, nothing has been done to the server that should cause the problem.

I'm not sitting in front of my Linux computer (they won't let me use Linux at work), but on my Windows computer, the command is "soffice" rather than "ooffice." I don't know if that helps at all or not.

The "S" is a throwback to StarOffice, OpenOffice.org's predecessor (for lack of a better term). They are still using that, even though I'm on OpenOffice.org's replacement, LibreOffice.

"soffice" is a recognized command, but it still does not start Open Office. It seems like Open Office starts to run, but is closed immediately before it even shows its startup screen.
