On make install clean, I never really got OOo to install. I grabbedn the bins off the OOo site, run the tar in /home/me, and ran the install. Bingo! instant OOo. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of David Gerard Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 3:52 PM To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: OpenOffice.org Linux binary works (was OpenOffice.org 1.0.2 andFreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE) Doug Poland (doug@polands.org) [030601 01:18]: > On Sun, Jun 01, 2003 at 01:00:33AM +1000, David Gerard wrote: > > So.

We just installed the Linux binary (as downloaded from openoffice.org) for 1.0.3, and it's working very nicely so far. Ran 'install' (which gave a lot of errors) then 'setup', and it works fine. Ticked 'KDE integration' and it even put itself into the KDE menus properly. I'm about to try it on the 4.6.2 box as well. I'll let you all know if that works too. - d. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
