For those curious, I’m not sure what the problem was, but I fixed it by:
# yum remove openoffice*
Reboot
# yum install openoffice*
And now it works.

that’s sortof like hitting the machine suddenly it works
@newrouter: that’s actually a time-honored principle for old-style (e.g., vacuum tube) electronics; it helps re-seat connections that may have grown tenuous due to motion, jostling and/or thermal expansion. My father used to use it during his 30 years of electronics works in the Navy; reboot/reinstalls are the modern software equivalent. ..bruce..
Once the computer I use at work decided to jam up and do that thing Windoze does of freezing like it’s a painting. Probably because of evil Lotus Notes the evil program of evil that every office I’ve worked in for the past fifteen years insists on using. So I went to unplug it for a nice ice-cold, honey-badger-doesn’t-give-a-fuck reboot. My boss cautioned that the tech guy always yells at them when they do that — but see “honey-badger-doesn’t-give-a-fuck” above. (Especially about tech guys that aren’t there.)
Anyway, after that the machine behaved, with me at least.
It’s a well-known phenomenon called “bit decay” or “bit rot.”
It’s all the fault of George W. Bush.
