Actually, it will probably fail because the port wants staroffice 5.2, not 5.1 Bill Schoolcraft <bill@wiliweld.com> types: > At Fri, 11 May 2001 it looks like Bob Greene composed: > > Chuck the CD and ftp the 5.2 version instead.

If by that, you mean sources, you can try digging out the original checkin from sun at OpenOffice, but that's a StarOffice 6 beta, and you'd have to do the port. You'd be better off contacting the person who is working on the OpenOffice port, and seeing if you could help out there. > I advertise FreeBSD at my work (a Linux company) but have to either > use my Solaris or Linux box to walk StarOffice customers through > problems, FreeBSD is my main box at work except for that issue. > > I've tried to build from /usr/ports/ but to no avail. It doesn't build from ports, it downloads linux binaries. There's some strange interaction with root's shell. Simply running the make from a different shell fixes it, but check the -questions archives for details. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
