The .doc import function does not work. It runs a program called olefilter, and the truss output shows that a symbol called 'poll' is undefined. It was suggested I install Gnome or KDE. Here is what happened: Okay, I just installed the latest version of Gnome. Here is the last few lines of truss running olefilter: access("/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6",0) = 0 (0x0) access("/usr/lib/libm.so.2",0) = 0 (0x0) access("/usr/lib/libm.so.2",0) = 0 (0x0) /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: write(2,0xbfbff40c,26) = 26 (0x1a) /usr/local/lib/libglib12.so.3: Undefined symbol "poll"write(2,0xbfbff43c,54) = 54 (0x36) Any idea what is happening here? This is after building world last night with 4.2-stable. Is it a problem with blackbox? I am really ignorant about how BSD and unix in general handles libraries, so maybe I will learn something about this. All I really know is they are way better than DLL's!
