I am having a problem with Star Office 3.1 under my FreeBSD
3.1-RELEASE install. The port compiles fine, but when I run it I get :

User Install required before swriter3 can be run, please wait...
ELF binary type not known. Use "brandelf" to brand it.
Abore trap

When I run "brandelf swriter3" I get the following error:

brandelf: file 'swriter3' is not ELF format

I have tried brandelf w/ the -f and -t FreeBSD options and both get the
same result.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I have compiled XFree86 w/ aout support and am using 3.3.3.1.

Thanks,

Danny

StarOffice 3.1 is a Linux binary so you need the package linux_lib-2.6
or 2.6.1 and either type linux at the prompt, add linux_enable="yes" to
your /etc/rc.conf file, or add options COMPAT_LINUX to your kernel.
Brandelf is for native bsd executables. Also before firing StarOffice up
you need to copy sd.sh to /root and change <workpath> and <progpath> to
your staroffice location usually /usr/local/StarOffice-3.1. Have Fun!

Would you please post the procedure you used to install StarOffice 3.1 (I am
using the CDs)?

TIA
Greg

I have StarOffice 5.01 running on FreeBSD but.. when I try and select
the task icon Staroffice crashes. Also I only seem able to start Staroffice
as root. Anyone seen this?
Thanks

Your question doesn't seem to have already been answered, and I
completed 5.0 installation a few minutes ago. Well, as far as I
understand the free of charge version of StarOffice can't run on
multiple accounts (you would have to do a "setup /net" as root, and then
"setup" from each user account, but the last won't work). If you don't
want tu use it as root, you have to run "setup" while logged as the
selected StarOffice user.

Have a look at www.freebsdrocks.com (IIRC), there I've described how-to
do a 'network'-installation without /net (it didn't work for me either).

I am having a similar problem. Part of what you are experiencing is
that you are trying to brandelf an exec and brandelf is made for ELF
libs... I tried brandelf -t "Linux" *
(which should change all ELF libs to Linux brand) but it didn't solve
the problem so I changed them back to FreeBSD...

Any brilliant suggestions on the subject appreciated

No, brandelf is for static ELF binaries.

The problem he has is probably that the linux emulator is not loaded.
Try running "linux" as root (and modify the setting in rc.conf).
