Hi Jürgen,

The issue is http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=86541 which 
has been rejected as invalid. In fact it is still an issue.
Disable Java.
Tools>Macros>Run... gives the error message but as a matter of fact you 
can run Basic and Python with Java disabled.
No such error message when you follow:
Tools>Macros>Organize>Basic|Python... button [Run]
