Hi paul, It took me a while to find a mirror that provides the OOo m73 package (the one I downloaded from was Gesellschaft für wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung Göttingen). The setup script installed OOo-m73 into a pair of newly created directories, ooo-dev3 and ooo-dev. I don't know whether this was the reason that the installation was successful. But at least I now have two versions of OOo that co-exist in my B133 vdi. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
