Thanks for offering ideas but building libreoffice still fails, now it's complaining about boost-jam-1.65 and the installed boost-jam-1.67.  I tried 'make deinstall clean' for boost-jam as well, it still fails.

Even if version 1.67 of boost-headers and boost-jam are explicitly uninstalled something is convinced they're installed and that's stopping make from just building and installing version 1.65 and getting on with building libreoffice.

There must be something in libreoffice's install scripts that's calling explicitly for version 1.65 of boost-jam and boost-headers, any idea where I should look?

Or how do I really (really) force pkgin and/or pkgsrc to accept that version 1.67 of them isn't already installed?  I've tried the -f switch but either it's broken or I need to flip a switch on something else that I'm unaware of.

I'm at a loss, but willing to try other ideas, thanks to all who are trying to help.
