I just can't seem > to get it to work. i too bought a 5.2 cd recently and am facing the exact same problem as you are. up 'til now, i still can't get it to install (through the ports) no matter what. i did manage to install from the cdrom by calling the 'setup' program, which works, but executing ~/Office52/soffice returned a '~/Office52/javaldx not found' and '~/soffice.bin not found' error. pretty strange cause soffice.bin is in my ~/Office52/program folder. a few months back, i was doing the same thing on a 5.1a cd as well. that took me quite a while to figure out until i discovered that it had to download 3 separate files for the installation. 5.2 totally different. there is no separate file -- just one huge chunk of bin files (from the ftp site) about 97mb or so. i'm on a dialup as well so downloading that huge a file is ridiculously ridiculous :) if you've got a 5.1a cd somewhere, i'd suggest you use that first. otherwise, try some other methods till you get it i suppose. i'm giving it a rest for now and will look into it some other day. but if you do get to fix it, you'll let me know too wont you? :) > Thanks, > Andrew ~as -- Alvin bsd140870@yahoo.co.uk _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
