To reply to my own posting, from advice and comments of the net I found that the staroffice 4.0 install requires write access to a number of subdirs of its installed path at runtime for cached files and configs. The truss showed higher up a large number of these failing. chmod a+w on the staroffice runtime tree resolved all of my problems and I can now use this package fine under current (but not an ELF converted one) cheers -George -- George Michaelson | DSTC Pty Ltd Email: ggm@dstc.edu.au | University of Qld 4072 Phone: +61 7 3365 4310 | Australia Fax: +61 7 3365 4311 | http://www.dstc.edu.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
