The trouble with 5.2 might exists on older FreeBSD 3.x or 4.0 or with an
out-dated linux_base, but with a fresh 4.1-STABLE and a fresh linux_base, I
was able to successfully install StarOffice 5.2 twice on different boxes with
the appended script. Feel free to turn this script into a new port for
StarOffice 5.2.
