Does anyone have Firefox and OpenOffice coexisting on a single system? How is it accomplished? Yes, I have both on FreeBSD 6.1. I didn't do anything special. I just built them both from ports. I had to get the jdk thing from Sun for OpenOffice first due to the license restrictions from Sun which is annoying. But it is easy and straightforward. Then I just make make install on each of Firefox, Thunderbird and openoffice and after a long time they were all there and worked. I made OpenOffice be the WP for Firefox to bring up to handle .doc and maybe a couple of other file types and that works fine too. I did cvsup everything (system and ports tree) to the latest before getting started with doing ports installations.

Do I not understand shared-lib versions? (Re: OpenOffice port vs Firefox)

The Firefox is the package from the 6.1 CD set, and the OpenOffice is a current Ports build (in process). I figure to try rebuilding Firefox from its port once the OpenOffice build finishes -- it's been running for something over 16 hours now, and is currently in svx/source/svdraw. What I don't get is why a shared-lib change would manifest this way. If I understand shared-lib versioning correctly, any incompatible change to any exported API should have occasioned a change to at least the minor version number, precisely to avoid this sort of hit on an existing binary that was built to the old API. Such binaries "should" continue to use the old version of the shared library, no? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I tend to install packages for workstations. With OpenOffice the version on FreeBSD works okay, you just have to manually install the prereqs. The other thing I do is start fresh with a new version. I.e., I do not cvsup 4.x --> 5.0. Maybe if you did pkg_info -rRx for both packages something in common (conflict) would suggest itself. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

How is it accomplished? Yes. I have three computers (home, work, laptop). All three of them have both Firefox and OOo installed. I would suspect that you've hit some obscure version issue. I make it a point to try to keep all three of these machines updated, so I'm portupgrading them on a regular basis. I seem to remember one point at which I rebuilt OOo and had to rebuild firefox to get it working, but I don't remember for sure. -- Bill Moran Someting happened or something. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
