I did a complete re-install of StarOffice 5.2. It fixed the problem. First, a "make deinstall" on /usr/ports/editors/staroffice52 simply insisted that it wasn't installed (huh?). make clean make install then the user install... > I then had to modify the "soffice" script a little bit, as follows: > > sd_platform=`uname -s` > case $sd_platform in > SCO_SV) test=/bin/test ;; > FreeBSD) test=/bin/test ;; > *) test=/usr/bin/test ;; > esac This was not needed the second time around. It just runs now (so far). So, it looks like it was a muffed install the first time around. No idea why. It certainly seemed to think things were normal the first time around. Well, this should go into the archives so that if anyone else runs into it, they'll know that the answer is "just install it again." If you've managed to read this far, I've got another question for you. I loaded yesterday's -stable snapshot. Is there a quick way for me to track that whatever the current -stable is by downloading updated binaries, or do I need to resort to compiling the sources? If there is a such a way, where is the documentation for this? Likewise for keeping packages up-to-date? Debian has a nice way of doing something like that, and I was wondering if FreeBSD has it. I used to track -stable via sources, but that was a pain, and I'm hoping that there is a cleverer way....
