Hi. The SDK is documentation for writing macros.
URE is probably something similar; in any case it's an extra.
The solver is, I believe, still in testing and, in any case, is an extra.
If you are installing the en_US version, you do not need that language pack.
From the Setup Guide, I got the following reference:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-overview.html.
The Setup Guide itself contains some other information about installing
on freebsd:
"Quick method
1. Download from
2. Unpack from its distribution format (typically a tarball compressed
with compress(1),
gzip(1), or bzip2(1).
3. pkg_add
4. Install Java as needed.
5. Install any language packs needed for OpenOffice.org.
Removal
No info. Probably pkg_rm"
That's all it seems to contain. If you want to check it yourself, there
are two copies:

I have visited the FreeBSD porting status page
http://porting.openoffice.org/freebsd/ and thence the download site
ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/FreeBSD/2.0.3/FreeBSD6/i386
but how do I figure out which of those 150 or so files to
retrieve, and how, exactly, do I go about installing it/them?
Based on the file names, it looks as if most of the
proliferation is around language support; so I guess
I need OOo_2.0.3_FreeBSD61Intel_install_en-US.tbz.
To just use OpenOffice on FreeBSD 6.1, do I also need
OOo_2.0.3_FreeBSD61Intel_langpack_en-US.tar.bz2,
OOo_2.0.3_FreeBSD61Intel_SDK.tar.bz2,
OOo_2.0.3_FreeBSD61Intel_URE.tar.bz2, and/or
OOo_2.0.3_FreeBSD61Intel_solver.tar.bz2?
There doesn't appear to be a README file in either the
download directory or the ...install...tbz file, nor did
I notice any clues on the porting page.
WRT "how to install", I know how to unpack a .tbz or .tar.bz2
file, but does it expect to be unpacked into any particular
location? If not, is there some sort of postinstall script that
should be run, e.g. to create symlinks in a well-known location?
