I installed the package for OpenOffice 2.0 for FreeBSD 6.0 (which needed openssl-beta, which I installed).  Now, when trying to run OpenOffice I get:

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libuno_sal.so.3" not found, required by "javaldx"
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libvcl680fi.so" not found, required by "soffice.bin"

I put symlinks in /usr/local/lib to these files using their names (i.e. the symlinks are the same names as the files), the files were installed to:

/usr/local/openoffice.org2.0.0/program

So, I figured that ldconfig would take care of everything on the next bootup.  Well, I'm still getting the same problem.  I did ldconfig -r | grep <for_the_files>.  ldconfig knows about "libuno_sal.so.3" but not "libvcl680fi.so".  I suspect it's because libvcl680fi.so doesn't follow the lib<something>.so.[0-9] convention being looked for (as is spelled out in the man page).

So, my question is simple.  Can anyone help me get OpenOffice running?

Thanks,
Andy
