If your running KDE on FreeBSD theirs little need for OpenOffice
because KOffice 1.5 now has ODF* support plus it's a shitload easier
to build and install on FreeBSD, no Java, Bison, or, *xml crap to deal
with etc. It's in the ports tree under /usr/ports/editors/koffice-kde3

*OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications


Hooray for interoperability!
