In my case the *only* thing that had any effect was the linking that allowed StarOffice to find applicat.rdb in whatever random perversion of /usr/local/office52/program/ it chose to look. Nothing I did to help it find sofficerc made a difference, but in the three machines I did this on, making symlinks to help it find applicat.rdb made it stop complaining about not being able to find sofficerc. Someday maybe someone will figure out how to make the thing work right out of the box for everyone (I guess it must work for some folks, but there sure are a lot of people who have this "sofficerc not found" nonsense). Until then, it seems like voodoo. -- Thomas Russo * tvrusso@sandia.gov * Dept 1734, Component Information and Models * Mail Stop 0525, Sandia National Laboratories * Albuquerque, NM 87185-0525 * To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
