All I can say is that this appears to be a real Heisenbug. I've seen it myself, and in fact I can't get StarOffice to work for anything on my desktop box even though it USED to work there. It works fine on my laptop and on another desktop box of mine, however, and from all I can see the permissions are correct and everything else is identical on the various machines. I've even removed that sofficerc file and watched StarOffice happily create it again, but still the error message. Whatever the problem is, when we eventually find it we're probably going to see that it was something really strange, like the permission on some completely unrelated file under /compat/linux or whether or not your machine's name starts with the letters a, r, q or w or something. :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
