At what point are you having issues? How far did you get?
Install as root passing the "/net" option at the command line. This does a "network install" (old/single Windows user terminology -- it means install it in a central area for all users, even though it's on the same system) into /opt/staroffice or /usr/local/staroffice.
Once it has been installed, run /opt/staroffice/setup (or any StarOffice binary) as a regular user you wish to use it as. This will do a "workstation installation" (again, old/single Windows user terminology -- means setup local user files) and this will install a few MBs (user files) in the user's home directory.
BTW, don't forget that you might need to "chmod ugo+x ./setup" the setup executable so you can run it.
