I got that too and noticed that, sure enough, there was no such 
file as freebsd-local.sh in that directory.   So, I CD-d there
and did a   'touch freebsd-local.sh'  and it all seems happy now.
Maybe I missed a step that should have put it there, and I have
been negligent in pursuing OpenOffice docs, but it's working so...

There was one more file that it wanted and an empty file seemed to
make it happy, but I can't remember the name right now.   After doing
a touch on both of them, things came up and ran fine as far as I can
tell.   I am not a very demanding user of those kind of office packages
so I may be eliminating some niceties by cheating like this that I
just haven't notices. 

There is probably something in the docs about those files, so, if
all else fails read the instructions...

Dear Eamon,

The first time one starts openoffice, one gets a configuration screen
that gives you an option to go with a network setup or local setup. I
bet you've took local. Please try the other and see if that helps. If
you rename the oo dir then this will proberbly force a resetup.

Open Office start up problem

2004-02-27 Thread Eamon Daly
Hi,

This is probably a simple problem, but can someone please tell me what's 
happening here?

$ ./soffice
.: Can't open 
/usr/home/eamon/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/program/freebsd-local.sh: No such 
file or directory
$

I'm running FBSD 4.8 on a Compaq Evo N410c.

Thanks,
Eamon
