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... /var: write failed, filesystem is full OpenOffice.org1.1.2/share/cde/types/it.UTF-8/vnd.sun.xml.draw.dt: Can't open OpenOffice.org1.1.2/share/cde/types/it.UTF-8/vnd.sun.xml.draw.dt': No such file or directory /var: write failed, filesystem is full OpenOffice.org1.1.2/share/cde/types/it.UTF-8/vnd.sun.xml.impress.dt: Can't open OpenOffice.org1.1.2/share/cde/types/it.UTF-8/vnd.sun.xml.impress.dt': No such file or directory . . . /var: write failed, filesystem is full OpenOffice.org1.1.2/program/python-core: Can't restore symlink to 'python-core-2.2.2': No space left on device /var: write failed, filesystem is full /var: write failed, filesystem is full OpenOffice.org1.1.2/program/spadmin: Can't restore symlink to 'soffice': No space left on device Done. tar: OpenOffice.org1.1.2/program/libxmx645fi.so: Could not stat: No such file or directory tar: OpenOffice.org1.1.2/program/libxo645fi.so: Could not stat: No such file or directory tar: OpenOffice.org1.1.2/program/libxsltdlg645fi.so: Could not stat: No such file or directory tar: OpenOffice.org1.1.2/program/libxsltfilter645fi.so: Could not stat: No such file or directory . . . tar: OpenOffice.org1.1.2/program/python-core-2.2.2/lib/linecache.py: Could not stat: No such file or directory tar: OpenOffice.org1.1.2/program/python-core-2.2.2/lib/locale.py: Could not stat: No such file or directory tar: OpenOffice.org1.1.2/program/python-core-2.2.2/lib/macpath.py: Could not stat: No such file or directory . . . tar: OpenOffice.org1.1.2/program/python-core-2.2.2/lib/test/test_weakref.py: Could not stat: No such file or directory tar: OpenOffice.org1.1.2/program/python-core-2.2.2/lib/test/test_winreg.py: Could not stat: No such file or directory tar: Error opening archive: Empty input file: Inappropriate file type or format pkg_add: extract_plist: can not invoke 31768 byte tar pipeline: /usr/bin/tar cf - OpenOffice.org1.1.2/program/python-core-2.2.2/lib/lib-dynload/bsddb.so OpenOffice.org1.1.2/program/python-core-2.2.2/lib/lib-dynload/cPickle.so OpenOffice.org1.1.2/program/python-core-2.2.2/lib/lib-dynload/cStringIO.so . . .

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
