We just downloaded and installed the Linux binary of OOo 1.1rc3 on my wife's FreeBSD 4.8 box with no problems. My 4.6.2 box, however, doesn't want to play. I untar the install files into a directory in my home directory, run ./setup and it puts up an unpacking window (box opening and progress bar), then a text box saying 'The script file is now being read. Please wait a moment ...' - then an alert box saying 'Important program files were not found. The installation set may be damaged.' The thing is, this is the *exact* same tarball which worked on the 4.8 box. Has anyone else encountered this? Any idea what it means? I do have linux_base-6 and linux_base-7 installed, as does the 4.8 box. (We also tried the FreeBSD native tarball, but it insists on trying to install in /usr/local and doesn't seem to give the option of installing to a home directory.) - d.
