Uhh, I have been unble to get OpenOffice 1.1.4 working on a recent
(May 9th) 4-STABLE. For about a week now.

Despite forced rebuilding all required ports with portupgrade,
deleting the 1.1.4 version line from .sversionrc and removing the
OpenOffice.org directory everytime, I have been completely unable
to get it to work. At all. Not even close.

I even built it completely from source code - no lightweight
undertaking - and it still appears to install correctly, and then
fails with the error (when you try to start it):

"The application cannot be started.
The configuration service is not available
Start the setup application to repair the installation from the CD or the folder
 containing the installation packages."

Running openoffice-1.1.4-setup and selecting the "Repair" option
tells you that it has repaired the problem - but not what it
"repaired", but it still produces exactly the same error message
when next run - and again, does not start.

A "new user" created for testing purposes has exactly the same symptoms.

It fails precisely the same way when installing from the package -
which is  almost up-to-date (I'm at expat-1.95.8_1, but thepackage
wanted 1.95.8).

The setup.log is full on non-ASCII characters and DOS-styleline
terminator characters, and the only errors in there relate to
links for the KDE and Gnome desktop environments, which I literally
couldn't care less about, using neither of them.

Some previous install runs (but not the last 10 or so) complained
about "errors registerings" various libraries, which, after installing
the package, I note are amongst the "not found" libraries from
soffice.bin:

bash-2.05b# ldd soffice.bin
soffice.bin:
        libvcl645fi.so => not found (0x0)
        libsvl645fi.so => not found (0x0)

        libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x28107000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x28151000)
        libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 (0x2820f000)
        libstlport_gcc.so => not found (0x0)


What am I missing? Does this simply not work on 4-STABLE?

How can I find out why it isn't working?

Thanks for any help.
