Put the file in /usr/local Do not unroll the file with tar and run psk-add on it pkg-add openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz During the process it will ask where you want to install it and you can choose something a little shorter than .../openoffice-1.1.0_1 if you want, but since you will have all the utilities in your path and so won't have to use that long name all the time, it doesn't really matter. Best to leave the base path as /usr/local though. Wherever you have put /usr/local and symlinked it if you have, is OK. ////jerry > | > | Remark: 'OpenOffice.org1.1.0' is a new folder generated during > extracting OOo > | 1.1 tarball. > | > | Kindly advise.
