Editing PATH should have been enough.

Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH should have solved that though one should try to avoid having to do that all of the time.

I know nothing of that.

Some of those may have helped before steps 1-3.

I have no idea what's wrong there.

Adjust PATH?

Yes, that target produces the command line you showed above. Obviously, the examples are assumed to be run from a directory six or so levels deep, hence "cd ../../../../LINUXexample.out/bin". OTOH, it could be that OUT_BIN is being defined incorrectly because something else isn't set.

I have no experience with the OpenOffice SDK, so I cannot offer any more concrete information.
