Re: good replacement for open office
Frank Jahnke wrote: what would be a good replacement(s) for most of it's functionality (word processing and spreadsheets are what matter to me) You really have to decide what you want to suite to do. Otherwise, your problem is underspecified. 1) Collaboration (complex). If you collaborate with colleagues who use Word (for example) then practically you have to use Word if you deal with complex documents. By "collaborate" I mean exchanging documents back and forth, with edits in each pass. Mine are always heavy in equations and chemistry. Run it in a virtual machine (VMware, Win4BSD, qemu/kqemu) on XP, W2K or 98SE. You probably don't need the latest and greatest version of Word unless you colleagues are very sophisticated. Word 2000 has been fine for me. 2) Document creation. If you only want to create documents, and Office compatibility is not that important, then there are many options: Abiword/Gnumeric are quite good if you want WYSIWYG (but do install all the extensions), the formatters TeX and groff are exceptionally powerful if you learn them well. Abiword does not read Word files well; Gnumeric has many short-comings in reading Excel (particularly for graphics) but is very good otherwise. Personally I use the groff family for all my complex documents, but I have used it for 25 years and know it inside and out. (Well, it was troff and friends long ago.) 3) Read-only. You can use Antiword to get the raw text, but you lose all formatting. It is a pretty lousy choice in my opinion. Textmaker/Planmaker do a very good job for this. 4) Mixture. If you have a general mixture of these tasks and don't want to set up a VM, use Textmaker. The programs are quite good, they are quite compatible with Office (but choke on obscure files I use regularly, as does OO.o and all the others), and much better than OO.o and Aibword/Gnumeric in my opinion if you like Word. They are also quite inexpensive -- you can often find them for $20 or so on sale from the publisher. Personally, I use groff (with chem, grap, pic, refer, tbl and eqn for all the heavy text formatting), VMware/XP/Office 2003, Win4BSD/W2k/Office 2000, Textmaker/Planmaker, OO.o, Abiword/Gnumeric, and Windows computers. What I use depends on what I am doing. Good luck!

Equations (WAS: good replacement for open office)
> Since you seem to use the equation feature quite intensively, maybe > you have any clue on making the equation editor perform better. Sorry I can't really be of much help with OO.o equations. What I do personally is a kludge, but it works well enough. For documents that I create for read-only use, I use groff and friends. For those that require collaboration, I use Wordperfect to create the equations (it has an equation mode like troff's eqn), export them into Word format, and then read them into Word. The equation mode in Word is crippled, and you need to purchase MathType (I think that is the name) to make it usable. The same goes for references, BTW: you really need to purchase an add-on to make Word usable. In troff I just use refer together with Refbase. I've just not had much luck with OO.o's equation mode. If often crashes Word, and since all the people I collaborate with use Word, well, I use Word rather than try to teach them troff (or TeX). While they are all top-flight scientists and engineers at major US research Universities, their computer literacy is surprisingly low. I've given up on trying to find a BSD or Linux program that is good enough for this purpose -- none really are. So I just use Word in a VM and am done with it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

TeX (and its various packagings) is the better of the two to learn, since most journals take TeX input files but not troff. (I still consider the eqn preprocessor for troff as the most brilliant user-level software program ever written.) Most publishers do take pdfs, but they complain. Oh, and if you want to read pdf files and do any editing, you need Adobe Acrobat (Windows and OS X). There is nothing in the open-source world that comes anywhere close. I run it in a VM and on Windows boxes. Writing to pdf files from many input formats is handled well with ghostscript, which is used by many open-source programs. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: good replacement for open office
> what would be a good replacement(s) for most of it's functionality > (word processing and spreadsheets are what matter to me) You really have to decide what you want to suite to do. Otherwise, your problem is underspecified. 1) Collaboration (complex). If you collaborate with colleagues who use Word (for example) then practically you have to use Word if you deal with complex documents. By "collaborate" I mean exchanging documents back and forth, with edits in each pass. Mine are always heavy in equations and chemistry. Run it in a virtual machine (VMware, Win4BSD, qemu/kqemu) on XP, W2K or 98SE. You probably don't need the latest and greatest version of Word unless you colleagues are very sophisticated. Word 2000 has been fine for me. 2) Document creation. If you only want to create documents, and Office compatibility is not that important, then there are many options: Abiword/Gnumeric are quite good if you want WYSIWYG (but do install all the extensions), the formatters TeX and groff are exceptionally powerful if you learn them well. Abiword does not read Word files well; Gnumeric has many short-comings in reading Excel (particularly for graphics) but is very good otherwise. Personally I use the groff family for all my complex documents, but I have used it for 25 years and know it inside and out. (Well, it was troff and friends long ago.) 3) Read-only. You can use Antiword to get the raw text, but you lose all formatting. It is a pretty lousy choice in my opinion. Textmaker/Planmaker do a very good job for this. 4) Mixture. If you have a general mixture of these tasks and don't want to set up a VM, use Textmaker. The programs are quite good, they are quite compatible with Office (but choke on obscure files I use regularly, as does OO.o and all the others), and much better than OO.o and Aibword/Gnumeric in my opinion if you like Word. They are also quite inexpensive -- you can often find them for $20 or so on sale from the publisher. Personally, I use groff (with chem, grap, pic, refer, tbl and eqn for all the heavy text formatting), VMware/XP/Office 2003, Win4BSD/W2k/Office 2000, Textmaker/Planmaker, OO.o, Abiword/Gnumeric, and Windows computers. What I use depends on what I am doing. Good luck!

Re: good replacement for open office
If you don't mind paying for software, I think you'll find SoftMaker's Textmaker and Planmaker tools wholly satisfatory. Their spreadsheets is fully compatible with Excel. They make their products for FreeBSD. Additionally, if you find quirks, they answer you (once I even saw one of their guys answer somebody on sci.math.numerical). *And* they provide regular service packs (bugfixes and improvements). I've long since ditched OpenOffice because it's always problematic. http://www.softmaker.com/english/ofl_en.htm Cheers, Henry Lenzi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Just antiword -t filename. You can create documents with many different programs. Abiword is really light. Gnumeric works wonders with Excell format. Powerpoint documents are little bit more difficult to read. You can use tonic-point viewer but it requires Java which I do not have on my system. There is also a program called present. To be frank with you I use for all my needs TeX except for the spreadsheets although even for that you may use TeX. All of the above combined is 100 times smaller than Open Office. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

So go to: http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/ Find the appropriate version, download it, put it in /usr/local/openoffice (make the dir) and pkg_add it. NOTE that the instructions it prints say to run 'openoffice' to start it up and make it run its config.

Hi, yes there are several options in /usr/ports/editors It's a huge compile, though, needs something like 3GB of hard drive and takes a while. Installing as a package is another option. You also, IIRC, have to jump through Sun's java licensing hoops while installing. This involves (if you use the port - I've never installed as a package) waiting for the make install to fail with a message, going to Sun's website following instructions in that message, agreeing to their license, downloading a file to /usr/ports/distfiles and then repeating the process until complete: there are three or four files to download from Sun. As was recently observed on this list, be very careful to get the right file from Sun. There are several available at every stage and they have similar names.

No -- in this case the files being referred to are in fact FreeBSD pkg's. You can certainly extract the contents using 'tar -zxvf', but it won't do you a great deal of good. This isn't like the OO packages for other OSes, where you unpack a tar-ball and run an included shell script to copy everything into the appropriate locations. The FreeBSD pkg_add(1) program handles all that uncompressing, untarring and copying things completely automatically, as well as doing some additional stuff like registering the package in /var/db/pkgs > Is it necessary to remove OOo-1.1 first which I > re-setup temperarily to work. You might be able to get away with having both OpenOffice-1.1 and OpenOffice-1.1.1 installed simultaneously, as they both install to separate subdirs of /usr/local. However, apart from using up huge amounts of disk space, I don't see that's going to do a great deal for you. OpenOffice-1.1.1 release is available via ports -- but apparently not yet as a precompiled package from http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/ or the usual FreeBSD FTP sites. You can compile it yourself, but be warned: it's huge, has quite a long dependency list and takes geological ages to compile. Not for the faint hearted or those without a powerful machine.

Hi Matthew, Can I use 'zxvf' to untar the packages and do 'setup' to install OOo, the normal way not FreeBSD way? Is it necessary to remove OOo-1.1 first which I re-setup temperarily to work.

About several days ago I tried to upgrade 'automake-1.4.5_9' to its latest version using following commands which I knew being incorrect later; # cd /usr/ports/automake-1.4.5_9 # make deinstall After starting I saw it removed files which I needed. I closed the Konsole window promptly to stop running it. Today I tried to force remove 'automake-1.4.5_9' with following command # ca /usr/ports/ # pkg_delete automake pkg_delete: no such package 'automake' installed # ls /var/db/pkg automake-1.4.5_9 showing it war there. # pkg_delete -r automake-1.4.5_9 kg_delete: file '/usr/local/share/automake14/COPYING' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/share/automake14/INSTALL' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/share/automake14/acinstall' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/share/automake14/ansi2knr.1' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/share/automake14/ansi2knr.c' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/share/automake14/clean-hdr.am' doesn't really exist . pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/share/automake14/ylwrap' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is incorrectly specified?) I tried again # pkg_delete -r automake-1.4.5_9 pkg_delete: no such package 'automake-1.4.5_9' installed. It was very strange. So I prepared to force-install the latest version of automake. Before doing so I tried to 'make clean' the port trees first to see whether it will help Now can I stop running 'make clean' by closing the Konsole window. In doing so would it cause damage to the OS Kindly advise. TIA Furthermore connection to Internet died. I could not re-connect it. I think I need to reboot the PC. B.R. Stephen ___ Do You Yahoo!?

I should 'su' without '-/ing' then it worked. But I am running on a slow machine (AMD K-6/350). It took a while with following pop-up # pkg_add OOo_1.1.1.RC3_FreeBSD52Intel_install.tbz pkg_add: could not find package ORBit-0.5.17_2 ! Now another problem comes on installing RRBit-0.5.17_2 as follow; # cd /usr/ports/ # make clean (first) The PC is now running for more than 8 hrs. coming to biology/platon Cleaning .

So, I CD-d there and did a 'touch freebsd-local.sh' and it all seems happy now. Maybe I missed a step that should have put it there, and I have been negligent in pursuing OpenOffice docs, but it's working so... There was one more file that it wanted and an empty file seemed to make it happy, but I can't remember the name right now. After doing a touch on both of them, things came up and ran fine as far as I can tell.

On my machine there is no binary or symlink called 'openoffice' either. However, I can do this to find it: $ pkg_info -L "openoffice*" | grep 'bin/openoffice' ... and found that it's actually at /usr/local/bin/openoffice_1.1 Nathan Thanks, you're right, it's there. Now I have a problem with the elf interpreter - not found - Elf interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 not found Abort trap I installed the package libelf-0.8.5 but I still get the same error.
