To all: Can someone enlighten me about all necessary steps to set up linux emulation and StarOffice on a 3.0 (current) machine? As far as I understand, there seem to b e these steps: 1) install linux_lib-2.4.tgz compatability package. 2) enable linux emulation in rc.conf. 3) reboot, check linux compatibility is running with modstat. 4) install StarOffice-3.1.tgz package, run each app individually to configure. I've gotten through steps 1), 2) and 3), I think. Modstat indicates linux compat ability is running. StarOffice apps will not start, however; there does seem to be a missing library. Somebody told me I also needed to install the port of linux shared libraries, in addition to the package of shared libraries, but this doesn't make sense to me. The port and package are the same libraries, aren't they? Similarly, I was to ld to enable linux emulation in the kernel conf file and remake the kernel; but I thought you didn't have to do this in current. I'd really appreciate any help!
