Actually, that's not a failed dependency - libvos1GCC.so comes with staroffice. Something (as yet unknown) in the environment causes the setup program to fail to find that shared library. Even taking a package built on a system where it did install won't make setup work - but running "soffice" will get you set up and it will work. Personally, I think it was a waste of time. It opens one *big* window, and keeps it's windows in that - emulating MS-Windows all the while. It reminds me a lot of VNC to a windows box. If I wanted a windows-like environment, I woulda bought a windows box. On the other hand, I don't know of anything else that will do everything it will; if you need those things, it's the only answer. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
