Hi lists,
I am now really stumped and appreciate you for your assistance. I had
this very error already with OOo-1.1.2 on three 4.10p2 FreeBSD boxes
in the end of August, posted it to the list, but got no answer. I got
along by installing a 1.1.0 package and hoped that this error will be
solved in future ports.
Compiling seems alright. This error-message occurs right after "make
install".

Stop in /data/ports/editors/openoffice-1.1.
Does anybody know, what's wrong here?
I then tried "pkg_add -r openoffice-1.1", but the files couldn't be
found. After this I asked google, found packages, but they were build
against x.org (see thread initiated by Nakata Maho, diskussing using
x.org or xFree86). Are there any packages built against xFree86
available?
until such time as other packages are made available, you can try what i
have done in the past - installing OO despite having the wrong X server.
this method has been successful for me numerous times:
1) download the pkg for your system
2) pkg_add -f openoffice-[ver]
3) pkgdb -Fu # almost all the xorg/xfree pieces have very similar
names, so selecting the correct dependency is straightforward. only
with XFree86-fontScalable might you have to make a choice between
Type1 or TrueType. both seem to work, but with slightly different
results (i'm not sure which is best and don't much care - but if you
read-up on it, you should be able to figure it out).
4) start openoffice and enjoy.
Hi,
Sounds very good! I'll check it out as soon Don and I got along with
debugging this error!
Thank's to you as well!
Ben
... or do you generally recommend switching to x.org?
while xorg is now default on 5.3, what they will do with 4.11 is
unclear (at least to me). either system (xorg/xfree) will work and
both should be available via ports for the forseeable future. in short,
it is a matter of preference (or features) -- and a decision which is
entirely up to you. =]
hth,
epi
Sorry, to bother, thanks for your help!
Ben
