I've checked Marcel's suggestion on a -stable machine, and it works provided that: You extract the libs via unzip -L setup.zip cd to the directory export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. the key seems to be to unzip the libs first. One nice thing that putting things in /usr/compat: While soffice keeps it's own copy of the libs and correctly sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the "setup" utility doesn't. So, if you've done a network install and have to run setup, you'll need to explicitly set your path, e.g., export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib/Office51/lib/ before running setup to set up your personal space (if you haven't put them in /usr/compat). --Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
