I see....
Assuming you're starting it from the command line with just
"libreoffice" do you also have the problem if you start an individual
component such as "libreoffice --writer". (FWIW, similar suggestion
from Rick didn't help)
And, if possible, have you tried logging in as another user and running
libreoffice to eliminate your current environment?
Also, FWIW, I've run into some "interesting" failures when shared
libraries were updated and the older versions were still resident in
memory. e.g. unable to logout of a KDE session via the GUI. So,
sometimes logging out/in clears things up.
You've indicated you've filed a BZ but didn't note the BZ number. Could
you post it?
Maybe try "strace -o trace.txt libreoffice --writer" and take a look
around the end of the trace output for anything interesting, e.g., some
library not found.
(Sorry if this is delivered in html -- Thunderbird sometimes refuses to
send plain text).
