i guess the OpenOffice.org SDK as distributed by the OpenOffice.org
project does not work together with distro OpenOffice.org builds, which
use a different directory layout.

you can use the upstream OpenOffice.org SDK with the upstream
OpenOffice.org binary packages, or you can use the distro-provided
OpenOffice.org SDK packages together with the distro-provided
OpenOffice.org binary packages.

it seems the SDK package on Ubuntu is this one:
openoffice.org-dev
