Here, you will need to set up a temporary directory (I used /compat/linux/lib/StarOffice, but something in /tmp would be more sensible), and cd into it: cd /tmp/StarOffice Then copy the setup.zip file and unzip it - turning the file names all into lower case: cp /cdrom/linux/office51/setup.zip . unzip -L setup.zip (unzip is in the ports collection). Then proceed as per Ken's instructions: echo "/tmp/StarOffice" >> /compat/linux/etc/ld.so.conf /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig If you just try to run the "setup" script directly from the CD, it does the same thing with its own temporary directory in /tmp (uses heaps of space - you may not want /tmp on the root file system for this), but does not set up the ld.so.conf file, nor run ldconfig to update ld.so.cache. Hence you get an error. ---------------------------------------------------------- Rob Hurle rob@coombs.anu.edu.au Connect-A Tel: +61 2 6247 2397 PO Box 13 Fax: +61 2 6248 8905 Ainslie ACT 2602 Mobile: 0417 293 603 Australia ---------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
