I d'loaded and built the latest Version of OOo on my new dual core server,

The following is an ls -lt of /usr/local with the output of the failed
pkg_add. Any idea what I'm doing to cause this fatal blunder?

gary

root@tao:/usr/local# pkg_add -v openoffice.org-3.2.0.tbz
Requested space: 582M bytes, free space: 1109M bytes in /var/tmp/instmp.eXPq2W
pkg_add: package 'openoffice.org-3.2.0' or its older version already installed
pkg_add: 1 package addition(s) failed
root@tao:/usr/local#

"package 'openoffice.org-3.2.0' or its older version already installed"

Try uninstalling any previous versions of openoffice.


thanks for the idea; for amoment i was feeling like the
saddest sack in seattle, but both moving OOo-311
elsewhere didn't work so i forced the install with pkg_add -f
and that did it. there may be some token file hidden from
prev builds. at least one of us is awake.

anyway, i took the time to clear out a lot of deadwood...
