What did I wrong? Hmm... Maybe You will find any help on the official page http://porting.openoffice.org/freebsd/ This is my example of OO instalation: Language: Russian my ~/.login_conf ## me:\ :charset=KOI8-U:\ :lang=ru_RU.KOI8-R: ## cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-2.0 make LOCALIZED_LANG=ru -DWITHOUT_MOZILLA -DWITH_CUPS -DWITH_KDE -DWITH_TTF_BYTECODE_ENABLED -DWITHOUT_GNOMEVFS install clean As results - all GUI, help and other OO environment are russian by default.

Use precompiled binaries:
http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/keepassx/KeePassX-0.2.2-bin.tar.gz
It's work fine on 6.2-PRERELEASE
Or install Qt4 to another destination. For more details read INSTALL in the
QT4 tarball. And compile KeePassX from sources.
