openoffice from packages

Hi.
I want to install openoffice from packages. I'm using freebsd 7.2-release so, reading in the handbook, I have to use the packages in http://porting.openoffice.org/freebsd/ (no pkg_add -r openoffice directly).
I download the file ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/...md64/OOo_3.1.0_FreeBSD72X86-64_install_es.tbz , and then use
Code: 
pkg_add OOo_3.1.0_FreeBSD72X86-64_install_es.tbz
in the directory in there was the file.
The problem is that the dependencies not were found, as I expected.
How should I install openoffice from a package? From that package tin particular? I have to fetch the file remotely? I should I do?
Thanks in advance
 
Install the missing dependencies using either pkg_add -r or the ports tree.

Then install the OpenOffice.org package using pkg_add.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-productivity.html
Code: 
To install OpenOffice.org, do:

# pkg_add -r openoffice.org

    Note: When running a -RELEASE version of FreeBSD, this should work. 
Otherwise, you should look on the FreeBSD OpenOffice.org Porting
 Team's web site to download and install the appropriate package
 using pkg_add(1). Both the current release and development 
version are available for download at this location.
 
Yes, read it again. It says "if you run a -RELEASE (which you are), this should work".

So just # pkg_add -r openoffice.org.
