For the record, I tried to install an i386 binary of OpenOffice on a
FreeBSD-6.0/amd64 machine.
I used the OOo_2.0.0_FreeBSD60Intel_install_fr.tbz package found on
ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/FreeBSD/2.0/FreeBSD6/
I copied FreeBSD/i386 /usr/X11R6/lib and /usr/local/lib directories
to /compat/freebsd and used ldconfig -32 -m to add them to the loader
path, as well as /usr/local/openoffice.org2.0.0/program/
Now, when I try to launch openoffice.org, I get the following messages:
$ openoffice.org
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
no suitable windowing system found, exiting.
A core dump named 'javaldx.core' can then be found in the current
directory.
The segmentation fault doesn't seem to be fatal, but the last message
sure is.
I am now trying to find something obvious by grepping the source, but if
someone as some insight as to the "windowing system" part, it sure would
be nice.
