It was fixed after 5.2.1-RELEASE and 4.11-RELEASE. Please see commit log also for details. So we decided to mark these port as BROKEN for them. However, a patch for rtld.c for 4-RELENG and a patch for rtld.c for 5-RELENG are available, and it is totally unsupported. At your own risk, and feedback is welcome. The precompiled OO package works normally on 4-STABLE with this patch applied. The system appears to work fine with the patch applied (although it's only been on about 10 minutes, and i haven't rebooted yet). Thank you so much for your help. I am pathetically grateful.. :) Regards, AS > BEFORE BUILDING OPENOFFICE.ORG, FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION > if you use 4-series: > > % su > Password: > # fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~maho/ooo/patch-rtld.c-releng4 > # cd /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf ; patch < patch-rtld.c-releng4 > # make ; make depend ; make install > > > if you use 5-series (prior than 5.3-RELEASE): > > % su > Password: > # fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~maho/ooo/patch-rtld.c-releng5 > # cd /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf ; patch < patch-rtld.c-releng5 > # make ; make depend ; make install > > thanks > -- NAKATA, Maho (maho@FreeBSD.org)
