Hi!
I'm having a devil of a time trying to install the OpenOffice
suite. I'm running FReeBSD 5.3 on a dual boot with Win98SE on a PC with a
Sempron processor and 512MB of RAM with a 40GB hard drive for BSD and 10GB
for Windows.
First, I tried to install OpenOffice using the ports collection.
The first attempt proceeded successfully for quite a while, but then failed
because it was unable to fetch certain files (no file found, access denied),
then subsequent attempts failed because it said that a lower version was
already installed. So I did a pkg_delete which did not work because:
"pkg_delete couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is
incorrectly specified?)". So I looked in /var/db/pkg but didn't see an
OpenOffice folder.
Knowing when to quit, I decided to install the package so I
downloaded OOo_1.1.3_FreeBSD410Intel410_install.tgz and did pkg_add -r
openoffice. The attempt failed but I did manage to copy the output. It was
over ten-thousand lines long, so I just excerpted it:
sympatico# pkg_add -r openoffice
Fetching, etc...

When I saw the "filesystem is full" message, I did a df:
sympatico# df

As I mentioned above, I have a 40GB hard drive, so I am confused
about how I have run out of room as I have just installed FreeBSD about a
month ago. Could work files left over from the multiple failed installation
attempts be to blame?
Any advice, suggestions or comments would be greatly
appreciated.
Make it a great day,
Lawrence
