The problem with packages is you > are at the mercy of how someone else built them. Mike, Yes, but this case is a little strange, isn't it? Nobody else is wondering, there actually is no dependency on openssl, using the ports openssl, even a beta may be a litte uncommon (?) and I think this URL I mentioned is the main source for getting OOo as a package. Despite the problem I face, thanks to Nakata Maho at this point for his work. > > I also don't see where the openssl dependency is comming from and have to > take your word for it the package of open office you tried had one. Short and clear ;-): root@trinity# pkg_add /data/software/freebsd/OOo_2.0m143_FreeBSD60Intel_install_de.tbz pkg_add: could not find package openssl-beta-0.9.8a ! > > If your installed open office was built by you and works I highly > recommend > you back it up, something like > > pkg_create -b /var/db/pkg/openoffice.org-2.0.0_1 and save the resulting > openoffice.org-2.0.0_1.tgz somewhere safe.

Thanks for your hint, I'll have a look at this and look for a fast compiling machine :-)! Thanks for your response! Best, Ben > > -Mike > > > >
