Installed fine here under FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE from the ports tree:
/usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-2
without any errors. Of course I had to manually download the required Java
stuff.
I tried this shortly after 7.0 was released and the Java portion of
building OpenOffice-2 from ports wanted an old tzupdater that Sun no
longer provides. I have yet to update my ports tree so I don't know if
that has been corrected yet or not; if not, where does one get the
tzupdater 1.3.0_2007h (I think that's the version it asked for)?
The versions of files I was told to download are:
diablo-caffe-freebsd6-i386-1.5.0_07-b01.tar.bz2
jdk-1_5_0_14-fcs-bin-b03-jrl-05_oct_2007.jar
jdk-1_5_0_14-fcs-src-b03-jrl-05_oct_2007.jar
tzupdater-1.3.3-2007k.zip
I recently rebuilt my workstation and installed full KDE. The Java files
were a requirement for one of the extras installed for KDE.
I then installed OpenOffice from the ports and it didn't once complain
about anything.
This was all done with a current portsnap just before installing
everything.
