Problem installing LibreOffice (FreeBSD)

[orionus]

Hi,
I tried to install libreoffice with:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/ports/editors/libreoffice/ && make install clean
===>  libreoffice-3.5.6_1 Known as broken.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/editors/libreoffice.

I did also:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/ports/editors/libreoffice
# make LOCALIZED_LANG=fr install clean
===>  Installing for fr-libreoffice-3.5.6
===>   fr-libreoffice-3.5.6 depends on executable: libreoffice - found
===>   Generating temporary packing list
===>  Checking if french/libreoffice already installed
===>   fr-libreoffice-3.5.6 is already installed
      You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
      by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
      If you really wish to overwrite the old port of french/libreoffice
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/french/libreoffice.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/french/libreoffice.

How to start fr-libreoffice-3.5.6 if it is already installed?
can I have openoffice and libreoffice on the same system?

Thank you for your help and direction to solve my problem
Regards

Sorry, I'm not sure this is the best place to get help with BSD-flavor installs. I don't remember that it's come up before but I could be wrong there.

It should be no problem to install both LO and OOo; I know for sure that they use separate profile directories at run time, and as far as I know from OOo, it doesn't care where it's files are located; they all go together, not scattered in the usual system locations.

AFAIK, LibO do not offer a *BSD port. There are people working on a FreeBSD port for AOO

Apache OpenOffice FreeBSD porting status page

Considering the different licenses, I don't think there are many BSD developers interested on working on LibO...

I have referred the OP to the Apache mailing lists, which are frequented by some BSD users. He has posted a similar query there (AOO related).
