I have recently installed StarOffice 5.01 on FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE. It runs w/o problems (apart from me needing a good manual on how to do a couple of things.-)) I haven't tested its Java and JavaScript support though, these are new even under Linux. As for libs, Star Office brings with it a set of glibc2 libs, which need to be installed under /compat/linux/lib (do not forget to rerun ldconfig after copying them) and before installation their location (which may be anywhere at that time) must be expressly declared with the variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Also, you need to declare /tmp/sv001.tmp (or similar, it will complain anyway if you don't) using the same variable again. Then just follow the docs and run ./setup from the appropriate directory. (It is a GUI based setup like in Windows) It is not difficult but you can find a tutorial on it under FreeBSD Rocks (http://www.freebsdrocks.com) But caution, StarOffice is _huge_ . (Over 65 megs for that matter.) Try somewhere close to fetch it. I have no experience with WordPerfect though:-) I hope it helps...
