The only additional problem I noticed about running as root was that it ignores LD_LIBRARY_PATH but I did overcome it by creating symbolic links to the libraries from /usr/compat/linux/lib. Otherwise seems to be no difference (tried also to remove these links and run from an ordinary user: same effect). -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

My hunch is that it's something to do with Seems like I got no suck lucky user :-( permissions on Sys5 IPC queues or something. A Ktrace of both showed that different things were going on, but I lost the plot before working out exactly what. I ran ktrace and truss on it. It seems like it does not use Sys5 IPC at all or at least does not make calls looking like it. It uses an unix-domain socket with long name in /tmp and it seems to work OK (reads and writes through it show up in ktrace). I have even found out why the setup starts: because this clever program calls the setup script. The only question left is why does it do that ? :-( I also have no java support installed. From the message it gave during setup it looked like the java support was optional but not I start thinking whether could it cause this infinite setup. By the way, the exact version I'm trying to install seems to be 5.17, at least all the libraries have *517* in their names. Maybe this also makes some difference. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

Are you sure you initially installed StarOffice with the /net option (./setup /net)? There is also a StarOffice setup file that is No, I did a non-network install. created in the home directory of each person that runs setup (don't recall what the name of it is, .soffice?). You have to be sure to delete this file before running setup. I have checked and the only file was containing the path to the StarOffice directory. Tried to remove it, nothing has changed. Each user then needs to run setup once (without /net) and select a workstation install, which just installs a few files in their home directory. Maybe I'll try a net install next time.
