Dear List, I'm trying to get OpenOffice installed.
Context: I've just updated my OS 10.1 to 10.3.8. I installed X11. I got ooo112_osx_final.dmg.bz2 via http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/. During the installation process I ran into the following message: "Your X11 installation seems to contain a 6.0 version of libfreetype. OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 requires libfreetype 6.2 or newer. This version of libfreetype is included in the current distribution of XFree86 or can be obtained externally. You can obtain the latest version of libfreetype from OSXGNU. A mirror URL is http://scweb.sandiego.edu/osxgnu/Libraries/freetype-1.3.1X.pkg.sit"; I've used fink to get the latest versions (I think) of both freetype and freetype2, by typing: $ sudo apt-get install freetype and: $ sudo apt-get install freetype2 Everything seemed to go off ok. When I type: /sw isolde$ find . -print | grep freetype I get a pretty nice looking list of freetype(2) related files including: ./lib/libfreetype.6.2.0.dylib ./lib/libfreetype.6.dylib ./lib/libfreetype.a ./lib/libfreetype.dylib ./lib/libfreetype.la Examining these more closely I find: /sw/lib isolde$ ls -al |grep freet -rwxr-xr-x 1 root unknown 1029536 14 Sep 2002 libfreetype.6.2.0.dylib lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 23 5 Mar 15:09 libfreetype.6.dylib -> libfreetype.6.2.0.dylib -rw-r--r-- 1 root unknown 1600888 14 Sep 2002 libfreetype.a lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 23 5 Mar 15:09 libfreetype.dylib -> libfreetype.6.2.0.dylib -rwxr-xr-x 1 root unknown 731 14 Sep 2002 libfreetype.la What do I need to do? The OpenOffice installation docs say that OpenOffice will install the required bits and pieces if needed, but all I get is the abovementioned error. And yet it would seem that I have libfreetype6.2.
