Openoffice.org-3 Package

Xaenn

Hello all,

I'm having problems with the openoffice.org-3 package from good day: ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/FreeBSD/3.0.0/i386

After I try to start openoffice I get the following message:

bsd% openoffice.org-3.0.0
The application cannot be started.
The component manager is not available.
Segmentation fault

I've tried running it with jdk16 and without, but either way I cannot get it to run properly. Suggestions and advice greatly welcomed.

Regards,
-Xaenn
 
I must apologize for my very bad forum etiquette - I posted this message just before I was going to be away from my computer for 3 weeks.

Unfortunately I have quite a slow old machine so compiling OO3 from source really isn't an option.

You should check the integrity of your installation:

# pkg_info -gx openoffice

I did so, and had the following results:

Code: 
bsd# pkg_info -gx en-openoffice.org-US-3.0.0
Information for en-openoffice.org-US-3.0.0:

Mismatched Checksums:

bsd#

Which seems to indicate there is no problem. Any other ideas?
 
I did have to use pkg_add -f, as usual, but I didn't really notice anything that seemed too disconcerting.

There have been library changes recently that affect dependencies of OpenOffice.org, if you install sysutils/bsdadminscripts (it has no dependencies), you can run # pkg_libchk and show us the output. This might give a clue.

I went through and ran
Code: 
pkg_libchk
, but unfortunately it didn't find anything. After completing execution I was simply left with a blank prompt, and no output messages.
 
Honestly? OpenOffice always yields something unless you have certain entries in your /etc/libmap.conf. Do you?

This is rather strange.

Just to make sure I went ahead and ran
Code: 
pkg_libchk en-openoffice.org-US-3.0.0
but I still didn't have any output. Checking /etc/libmap.conf I found an empty file. Thanks for working through this with my despite no resolution thus far.
 
That is a little better. I find it odd that I got no output when I ran without any flags (which went through all packages), but nevertheless, here is what I have got:

Code: 
bsd# pkg_libchk -r en-openoffice.org-US-3.0.0
pkg_info: can't find package 'dmidecode-2.9' installed or in a file!

Depending on weather you use portupgrade or portmaster you should run one of these commands:

# portmaster --check-depends
# pkgdb -F (for portupgrade)

You should install those dependencies that cannot be mapped to newer versions. This will lead to a consistent package database. Unfortunately it will not fix your problem unless there are actually missing dependencies.
 
Fortunately (or unfortunately) I wasn't actually missing any of the packages - I just had newer versions. Nevertheless, the problem has been solved, although rather inadvertently. I just updated to FreeBSD 7.1 so that I could get flash9 working, and since doing so openoffice.org-3 also happily starts up. This isn't extremely satisfying because I don't know exactly what the problem ever was, but I am happy to have the program itself working.
 
I think I recall there have been compatibility breaking library changes between 7.0 and 7.1 that were necessary to address a security problem. That might have been the source of your problem.
