I've just been trying to get lo up and running, but get a twin error
message:-

%lowriter
javaPathHelper: not found
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libz.so.6" not found, required by
"libtlfi.so"

javaPathHelper appears to be an ignorable message from what I glean off
the web.

However, I have libz.so.4 on my system, but I can't see where to get .6;
afaik all the packages are fairly up to date. (And dropping in a symlink
doesn't help; something's being picky about library versions.)

Grubbing through the ports database doesn't cast light either:

data# grep -ri libz.so /var/db/
Binary file /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db matches
/var/db/pkg/compat7x-i386-7.3.703000.201008_1/+CONTENTS:lib/compat/libz.so.4
/var/db/pkg/linux_base-f10-10_3/+CONTENTS:lib/libz.so.1
/var/db/pkg/linux_base-f10-10_3/+CONTENTS:lib/libz.so.1.2.3

except to show that libz.so appears in multiple ports. My compat7x
package appears current.

Ideas please?

fbsd 8.2/i386, btw.

TIA.

Yes. It doesn't bother me.

That's why there are versions.

It looks like you've got a 9.x package on a 7.x system.

Well, a symlink sometimes helps :-)

Ah, thanks. 8.2 actually, not 7.x. I picked it up from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/editors/

assuming that they'd be for the 8.2 release. There seems nothing in the
package file to say what it was built on :-(

I've just had another look around, and there's no libreoffice in
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.2-release/editors/

So, is the package available anywhere for 8.2? There's no way I could
expect to build this from the port on my tiny system!

I'm running RELENG_8, and I've got libz.so.5. I *think* that you should
too.

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/editors/libreoffice-3.3.3.tbz
might work for you.
