Hi Jaromir, others?

actually I just finished the download as I said and started the build
and got:

/opt/pkgsrc/misc/openoffice
su# make
===> openoffice-1.1.1nb1 is not available for NetBSD-1.6.2-i386
su#


What on earth is it on about saying this?
How can this not work on i386 of all platforms?

thks,
Paul.
