Hi, A while ago I tried to install StarOffice and had a problem that every time I tried to start it it went into setup again and again. I've asked about this in -hackers and found that some people had the same problem but nobody has a solution. Well, I've found that solution today and in case anyone else hits that problem, here it is: I'm using the July '99 4.0-SNAPSHOT and in that snapshot reading /proc/NNN/cmdline returns a line with '\n' on the end. StarOffice tried to open a file with that name (its own code) and, of course, failed. Removing that '\n' in procfs fixed the things. One more catch is that the StarOffice bin directory must be in the path, otherwise the same problem follows. Both of these problems seem to be already fixed in -current. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
