StarOffice 5.2 has been released by SUN. For i86 architectures there are versions for Solaris and for Linux available by download or on CD from SUN. There is as yet no FreeBSD port for version 5.2 - the version in /usr/ports is for 5.1, and has an option for loading from the CD-ROM. I am running FreeBSD 4.0 on a pretty standard Intel box (great system). When I attempt to install StarOffice 5.2 from the CD, we find: 1. The script assumes `test` is in /usr/bin/test, so a link needs to be made from /bin/test: cd /usr/bin ln -s /bin/test 2. The install script does not set the library path correctly. I solved this problem by setting up a temporary directory: mkdir /tmp/fdir cp /cdrom/linux/office52/f_0000 /tmp/fdir cd /tmp/fdir unzip f_0000 setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /tmp/fdir and then run the install program. 3. The base directory that the installation script chooses is: /usr/compat/linux which is not so crash hot, but this can me moved or relinked after installation. 4. Installation proceeds, but dies at the end as the setup program tries to "register" libary routines. The log file shows the errors as: ERR register component: libctl569li.so : applicat.rdb ERR UNO exception (libctl569li.so): for all of the library files, and the library files are unavailable to soffice, so it will not run. Any ideas? I remember that problems in 1 and 2 (above) came up with version 5.1, and we discussed solutions in this forum back then (August last year?). However, this "registration" seems a more difficult problem - I guess the *.rdb file is some database thing.
