(posting the solution here so it can go into the archives on the off chance that somone else in the future might actually search the archives before posting and find the answer to his question....) It turns out that I had inadvertantly disabled the /proc mountpoint in /etc/fstab. The staroffice binaries REQUIRE (at least, the installation binaries require; I'm in no mood to tinker now and find out if the actual program binaries crash without /proc) procfs in the kernel, and a mounted /proc, or you will fail. Thanks to Martin Blapp, the port maintainer for pointing me in the right direction on this. ktrace/kdump showed me exactly where the problem was occurring, and allowed me to see (more or less) what was going on..... mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
