The port then builds just fine. You need to have a LINUX java kit installed (port linux-sun-jdk13, for example) and you may have to help the StarOffice installer find it during installation. Anyway, StarOffice 6.0 works OK for me, with one annoying problem which I have mentioned before in some postings. I use the port of cfs (Matt Blaze's Cryptographic File System). Using the old StarOffice 5.2 I was able to read and write files to cfs mounted directories with no problem. With StarOffice 6.0 (and OpenOffice 1.0) however, reading works OK, but writing causes the program to bomb and to delete the original file! Nasty. I just have not had the energy to plow through the source for OpenOffice to find out what is happening. Good luck, Brian --------------------- In message <20020709131553.A952-100000@lewis>, Lewis Kapell writes: >I expected this to have been discussed, but couldn't find anything in the >archives.
