So it looks like we have the following scenario: 1. Applixware v5.0 depends on the compat3x distribution, so it won't run on an out-of-the-box FreeBSD 4.2 system. I hadn't noticed that before because I originally installed it on a machine that went through a phase running 3.x, so the older libraries were still there. 2. Applixware v5.0 can be installed anywhere you like as long as you use the package, but you have to manually edit a shell script. Eg, PREFIX=/opt pkg_add -p $PREFIX applix-5.0.tgz Then edit $PREFIX/bin/applix and make sure APPLIX_HOME is set to $PREFIX/applix. By the way, v5 seems to be much more responsive than v4. Purely subjective, of course, but I've had a couple of comments on it. -- Richard Kuhns rjk@grauel.com PO Box 6249 Tel: (765)477-6000 \ 100 Sawmill Road x319 Lafayette, IN 47903 (800)489-4891 / To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
