I've included "ports" here since they need to know this
too, maybe. For their sake, the problem was that installing
OpenOffice-1.1.4 from ports on a freshly cvsup'ed RELENG_4
machine with fresh ports collection resulted in a successful
install of a version of OpenOffice that would do its own initial
setup, then not run. This is the answer:

> @${ECHO} "# make ; make depend ; make install"
And, by Gad, ladies and gentlemen, that was it!
I applied this patch as instructed and "soffice" now
opens correctly. If this text spat out in the course of installing
OpenOffice-1.1.4 (a process requiring some hours and many megabytes
of text output), I didn't see it.
