I have done the following and now it works: 1. Unpack the sp3 distribution 2. cd into the Install directory (where setup.bin is) 3. sed -e 's,/proc/%u/cmdline,/compat/linux/so,' < setup.bin > setup.new 4. mv setup.new setup.bin 5. chmod 755 setup.bin 6. touch /compat/linux/so 7. ./setup The install program should run and install StarOffice. Maybe I missed some step but this is closely what I have done. Then, after installing it, go to the lib directory and do the sed command on libsal364.so: 1. sed -e 's,/proc/%u/cmdline,/compat/linux/so,' < libsal364.so > libsal364.new 2. mv libsal364.new libsal364.so 3. chmod 755 libsal364.so The new /compat/linux/so path can be anything that does not exceed the 16 characters. It only has to point to an empty file... -Andre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
