For a while I used XFree 4.03 with success and now I want to build the new XFree 4.1.0 port. But it doesn't work on all of our FreeBSD systems (FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE, most recent cvsupdate). The main source tree is kept on a NFS server, exported writeable to other machines for port building convenience. The only one who builds theses ports is me. So there aren't any problems in a concurrent access. On time I get an error like a function Xdp or similar could not be found, but the most often occuring error is this one: .././config/imake/imake: not found *** Error code 127 What is this? imake is part of the system and part of the XFree distribution? This error occurs many times on different machines and I'm unable to build the port. I removed the complete XFree86-4 subdirectory and cvsupdated it again, but that didn't help much. Has anyone any glue? -- MfG O.

I decided to get the full VMware anyway, since vmware-express does not have non-persistent or undoable disks. Oh well, it was worth trying anyway...

Like every year in spring, I thought I give a try to install Staroffice onto my FreeBSD machine, expecting that after two years of frustration maybe this year it could work. I used the german/staroffice52 port. Did "make install" as root, then "make install-user" as user. Added ~/office52 to my path. But it doesn't work. I searched all Newsgroups and all mailinglists and observed all hints found there - still no luck. The symptom is well known - install and user install works, and then when the uers starts soffice, he'll get a dialog box complaining about Staroffice not being able to find /home/username/office52/users/sofficerc though the file is there. The following tricks did not help: * ln -s /home /compat/linux/home * Using truss to find out where applicat.rdb is searched and creating symlinks to help it find applicat.rdb. In my truss output, Staroffice does not even try to find any file named applicat.rdb, sofficerc or the like. * Installing linux-jdk before installing staroffice52. * pkg_deleteing everything found in /var/db/pkg that starts with "linux" or "staroffice" and then installing linux_base from scratch and staroffice52 from scratch. * Removing any Staroffice reminiscencies from the users's home. As the problem seems to subtly depend on system details, here is a detailed description of my system and what I did: 1. FreeBSD 4-STABLE, cvsupped some weeks before 4.3 was released. 2. Ports tree rm -rf'ed and freshly cvsupped just a week ago. 3. The machine is partitioned like this: /dev/da0a 127023 89236 27626 76% / /dev/da0e 2625952 1843603 572273 76% /usr /dev/da0f 1385983 464705 810400 36% /var /dev/ccd0c 4096637 3508552 260355 93% /home 4. The machine is headless. Maybe this could be the problem? I am working on a IBM network station (think of it as a dumb X11 terminal like the old XStation), called "kronos", which uses xdmcp to connect to xdm which runs on the FreeBSD machine ("romulus"). OK, I am logged in as user "tobi", working on kronos, having a full xdm login on romulus. So I type "su" to become root. Then type "xauth merge ~tobi/.Xsession; export DISPLAY=kronos:0". 5. Now, as root, I do "cd /usr/ports/german/staroffice52; make all install". In the install dialog box, I don't change anything, accept the default installation, accept the default path, everything. Just happy "OK" and "Continue" clicking. 6. After this is done, I type "exit" to become the user "tobi" again. Then I do "/usr/ports/german/staroffice52; make install-user". Again I only click "OK" and "Continue" and the like. 7. After this is done, I type "export PATH=/home/tobi/office52:$PATH" and "soffice". And I get the known infamous dialog box. So what am I doing wrong? Should I post a full truss output of this? I inspected it for all sorts of "file not found" messages, but all of them seem to be quite normal (just soffice looking for .so files in the wrong place, but right after that finding them in the right place). It can't really be a problem with me not "exitting and restarting X11" as advertised in some installation guides? After all I'm not using KDE or anything. It cannot mean that I have to reboot my network station during root and user install, can it? Kind Regards, Tobias.

All I can say is that this appears to be a real Heisenbug. I've seen it myself, and in fact I can't get StarOffice to work for anything on my desktop box even though it USED to work there. It works fine on my laptop and on another desktop box of mine, however, and from all I can see the permissions are correct and everything else is identical on the various machines. I've even removed that sofficerc file and watched StarOffice happily create it again, but still the error message.

I've tried and used both; 5.1 works reliably, whereas 5.2 often refuses to run for no perceivable reason, and is noticeably more buggy (and less stable) than 5.1 when it does run.

STH> I'm still running staroffice5.1 without any problems, that Not that I was convinced this could help, but I now also tried Staroffice 5.1 (the English variant), and it does not work either. No big surprise for me. :-( In my truss output I see mutliple sorts of connect and other socket operations failing. Maybe this has to do with it? I saw a patch for the linux connect on this mailing list from Januar or so, but it does not apply at all to my version of the linuxulator sources. Thanks to all for their answers.
