Unfortunately building OpenOffice from ports on my underpowered Duron=20 1600 system isn't an option until I treat myself to a hardware upgrade.=20 My ports are up to date, but upgraded with portupgrade -P to use=20 packages where possible. I did once try to build OpenOffice from ports=20 last year on my 6.3 system but it came up with a compile error after=20 about 3 days continuous compiling so I fell back to using a package=20 instead - that version (2.3.1) is still running fine on 6.3. Looks like=20 I need to keep my dual boot 6.3 / 7.0 setup for a while longer yet. I note that the discussion on =20 <http://www.nabble.com/Re:-GLib-GObject-CRITICAL-td13904374.html>=20 suggests that the problem is amd64 specific but this doesn't appear to=20 be the case - I'm running an i386 system. =2D-=20 Mike Clarke
