It took ages to compile however - obviously - so if you need it right now this might not be an option. A quick search in ftp's Latest directory does not reveal an openoffice package, but there is one in the All directory: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/All/openoffice.org-2.3.1_1.tbz You could try the following, as root (assuming tcsh): setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/All/ pkg_add -r openoffice.org-2.3.1_1 (there are also a 2.4 and a 3.0 version there, have a look at the ftp)
