It requires you pull the files down from corel's site: ===> wordperfect-8.0 'The source to this port may not be automatically fetched due to licensing restrictions. You MUST fetch the source manually after reading and following the links at http://linux.corel.com/products/wp8/download.htm Once GUILG00.GZ has been downloaded, move it to /usr/ports/distfiles and then restart this build.'. However.... It seems that the URL above is no longer valid. Closest one I could find was: http://linux.corel.com/products/wpo2000_linux/index.htm Maybe worth mailing the port maintainer about a possible update ? Given tho that you are going to be using this in a commercial environ I think you will probably have to purchase from them, but check the Agreemetnt at the URL above Barry -- Barry Irwin bvi@itouchlabs.com +27214875177 Systems Administrator: Networks And Security Itouch Labs http://www.itouchlabs.com South Africa To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
