> 3) Something wrong in your ports tree (and you > definitelly has this issue due to OO-1.0.3 - from the > latest ports tree, however mozilla-1.0.2 is at least > half year old, and jdk-1.3.1p8_2 is also replaced > with jdk-1.3.1p9) I have already installed Mozilla, so I will need to portupgrade then correct? Also, I CVSup source and ports every morning (is this a bad idea?) I thought this would update jdk-1.3.1p8_2 to p9 is that not correct thinking? > Fixes are: > 1) Install OO from package (i.e. precompiled) - it > is much simpler and in most cases is good enough I tried this by downloading openoffice-1.1RC4.tgz, unzipped it, and then did a pkg_add, and had problems (I cannot remember the exactly the errors, I will see if I can reproduce them and add that info later). > 2) CVSup your ports tree to latest > Then you could try to build OO without JDK > or consult http://www.freebsd.org/java on > jdk installation procedure I have not tried it without JDK, so I will look into those options above. > 3) As soon as you are a "good enough" investigate > FreeBSD handbook, then buy a book (or books) > about FreeBSD.
