I installed OO on FreeBSD 6.2 using this link: ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/FreeBSD/2.2.1/i386/OOo_2.2.1_FreeBSD62Intel_install_en-US.tbz, without any problems, exactly what error log do you have? ----- Original Message ---- From: Andreas Davour <ante@Update.UU.SE> To: Kevin Monceaux <Kevin@RawFedDogs.net> Cc: FreeBSD Questions E-Mail List <FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.org> Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2008 3:20:59 PM Subject: Re: How do I install openoffice from packages?

It does complain about other stuff not being there. Isn't packages supposed to work like port and pull in requirements automagically? Note: I have 6.3 machine, not 7.0-STABLE so I tried the 6.2 directory. /Andreas -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
