Hi Joshua and others,

You are correct.  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 .....

Shall I close the Kconsole window OR let it to run.

B.R.
Stephen
