Mike,
Thanks for your answer.

I already did - just because I don't want to compile OOo. Building OOo-2
on a PIII/1,13 isn't very funny. :-). OOo-1.1 was a little nightmare,
especially because it took me a while to succeed - you'd surely find on
google ;-). Last but not least, I don't have 9 free GBs. Really. :-)

I just don't understand why the package I mentioned requires openssl,
because I can't see any dependency on openssl, neither for building nor
for running.


A third way would be to use the ports openssl-beta as systems default?
