Sorry but I don't know to what version of StarOffice build 605 refers to.
But since the latest version of Star Office is 6.0, I suspect that you
might have some problems with relation to the libc versions. RH 6.1 comes
with a version of glibc that is "old" when compared to the current
versions of libc that many distributions include, ie my debian box comes
with libc6 2.1.3.    
 
So IMHO one possible problem would be that the binaries in the Star office
v 6.0 might require a newer version of libc6 than the one in the RH 6.1,
so you can check this out at suns star office download site.

To see what version of libc your RH6.1  box has, please run a "rpm -qa |
grep -i libc".      


Best Wishes,
Grendel
