Here's what I did, YMMV: # pkg_delete staroffice-5.1a If pkg_delete doesn't remove everything then try # rm -rf /usr/local/Office51 Also, I rm -rf'd Office51 and .sversionrc in all the user home directories where they existed. This ensures that there is nothing of the old installation left lying around that could possibly mess things up. # pkg_delete linux-base-5.2 If this complains that it can't completely remove everything in /compat/linux, then # cd /compat # rm -rf linux will do the trick. It will also ensure that any remnants of the now deprecated linux_lib-2.6 are also removed. Beware of any files there that may be required by other progs, but that were not installed by linux_base, e.g. I have mpegtv installed which requires libforms.so.0.88 in /compat/linux/lib. Now install the linux_base port. I suggest cvsup'ing the ports tree first, as although I tried 6.1 only a few days ago there has been changes to the versions of some of the rpm's required (this may be the reason that SO now works). I have version 1.36 2000/01/10 of the Makefile. Finally install the StarOffice port. I have the CD-ROM from Sun (mount it on /cdrom and do ``make USE_CDROM=yes install''), but it should be the same version as d/l from their web-site. Be sure to follow all the instructions, even though some generate errors, such as when it says to exit X and re-run ``make post-install'' as a normal user (this just gives error 71). Also, the next instruction, Then run "make install-user" and do a standard workstation install. should be done *after* returning to X (as it uses SO's GUI installer). Whether all this will work on 3.1-R, I don't know; maybe it requires the Linux kld to be more up-to-date. Also, it would seem that you require the latest port of linux_base, and seems wise to make sure that all traces of previous SO and linux stuff is removed (rm -rf).
