However, it is _often_ problem when build of a port fails due to it depends on an already installed port that is _too_ old. If you decide to upgrade installed application - portupgrade utility is very helpful. > I tried this by downloading openoffice-1.1RC4.tgz, > unzipped it, and then did a pkg_add, and had > problems > (I cannot remember the exactly the errors, I will > see if I can reproduce them and add that info later). Probably some installed applications needed by OO are absent or have a wrong version. You could install or upgrade necessary port(s), or force install as is if you are sure everything is ok.
