this is one reason i always install and setup while a regular user..so root doesn't own whatever you install. then i always su as root when needed to for admin stuff regular users can't do.

Do you mean there's no way i can get staroffice as normal user ?

check out this thread..http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=18680 ( the thread zmedico was referring to i forgot to add. )
for staroffice multiple user setup and yes you can install staroffice as a regular user too..

Here is a duplicate thread:

I found that you can copy the ".sversionrc" file to everyone's home directory and it works fine.

Also, apparently people need "write" access to the Star Office directory tree. In order to accomplish this, I made a group called "soffice" and added all users who use Star Office to that group. THen I did this:

find /usr/local/staroffice6.0 -type d | xargs chgrp soffice
find /usr/local/staroffice6.0 -type d | xargs chmod g+rwxs
find /usr/local/staroffice6.0 -type d | xargs chmod +t

This gave me some error messages because "find" didn't quote the file names that contained spaces, but Star Office still worked okay.
