Hi Norbert,

First, thanks for your tips.

I do both of those as standard.

On my Macbook I have ports installed because I use some/much of the
software that comes with it and find it very useful. It has caused
problems in the past with the LibO build, but this seems to have settled
down after I removed the offending libraries. On the OSX server machine,
the installation is virgin, i.e. I have no ports or fink stuff installed
on top, and yet the build keeps bombing in postprocess, telling me it
can't find bfmigrate_filter.component, yet this is present in
/source/bf_migrate/. Perhaps it is linked to the open file number limit
you mention below.

Thanks for the tips, I will try them out.
