For their sake, the problem was that installing OpenOffice-1.1.4 from ports on a freshly cvsup'ed RELENG_4 machine with fresh ports collection resulted in a successful install of a version of OpenOffice that would do its own initial setup, then not run. This is the answer: > I think you need to install the rtld patch.

I applied this patch as instructed and "soffice" now opens correctly. If this text spat out in the course of installing OpenOffice-1.1.4 (a process requiring some hours and many megabytes of text output), I didn't see it. Mike O'Brien
