Need help getting OpenOffice to work on FreeBSD 6.0-release

[umagnum338]

I installed the package for OpenOffice 2.0 for FreeBSD 6.0 (which needed 
openssl-beta, which I installed).  Now, when trying to run OpenOffice I get:

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libuno_sal.so.3 not found, required by 
javaldx
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libvcl680fi.so not found, required by 
soffice.bin

I put symlinks in /usr/local/lib to these files using their names (i.e. the 
symlinks are the same names as the files), the files were installed to:

/usr/local/openoffice.org2.0.0/program

So, I figured that ldconfig would take care of everything on the next bootup.  
Well, I'm still getting the same problem.  I did ldconfig -r | grep 
for_the_files.  ldconfig knows about libuno_sal.so.3 but not 
libvcl680fi.so.  I suspect it's because libvcl680fi.so doesn't follow the 
libsomething.so.[0-9] convention being looked for (as is spelled out in the 
man page).

So, my question is simple.  Can anyone help me get OpenOffice running?

Thanks,
Andy

Help with getting KDE to work again

[umagnum338]

Hi,
 
A few nights ago, I was installing some packages and trying to get the 
OpenOffice 2.0 package to work.  I installed some packages for a mathematical 
graphing program and something else that I can't recall now.  In any event, I 
was using KDE at the time.  Now, whenever I type startx from the command line 
the X window system starts but then I get a message dialog box saying that 
kdeinit couldn't be started and to check my installation.
 
I can't see how adding the new packages could have blown up KDE (unless they 
quietly overwrote some shared object that KDE looks to).  Actually, my 
suspicion is that it has something to do with what I was trying to do to get 
OpenOffice working.  Every time I tried to start OpenOffice, I'd get an error 
on two shared objects.  I did a find and found that the objects were in the 
openoffice installation directories.  So, I read up on the ldconfig manual page 
and tried to reconfigure my ld.so.hints file (or ld-elf.so.hints, whatever it 
is).  It seemed to work, but I couldn't load OpenOffice.  So, once again I went 
to the ldconfig manual page and saw that I could specify files.  So, I 
specifically told ldconfig to add the files that OpenOffice was looking for.
 
However, when I did this ldconfig dumped a whole bunch of stuff to the screen 
and didn't seem to like the shared object file that OpenOffice wanted to have.  
I wished I could remember what the names of the .so 's were but I can recall at 
this time is that once of them had something to do with Java.
 
What could be the problem?  Beyond /var/log/X.org.log where would KDE log 
errors to?  There seems to be very little to go on, and I haven't located any 
decent documentation on kdeinit to help me with command line options that 
might, perhaps, aide in debugging this.  Any help is appreciated because at 
this point, I can't use my X system.
 
Oh, by the way, I joined this mailing list using the e-mail address on the 
message, so replying to the list instead of me directly is ok.
 
Andy
