Hi list!!
"emerge --search openoffice" show that openoffice is masked. Instead,
there is an unmasked package called openoffice-bin. Does it mean that
OOo doesn't compile on amd64?
TIA, Daniele

Yes, in fact, if you do an "emerge -p openoffice" it will tell you it's
masked and has a message that says something like "Don't even think of
trying to compile openoffice, it won't work anyway."

For posterity, since my AMD64X2 was not on earlier:


Optimus ~ # emerge -p openoffice

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "openoffice" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
request:
- app-office/openoffice-2.0.3 (masked by: package.mask, -amd64 keyword)
# 2005/10/24 Simon Stelling <blubb@gentoo.org>
# Don't even try to compile openoffice-2.x, it won't work.


For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

If you really want a 64-bit openoffice you can try geki's overlay ( 
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-195406.html ). Be warned though, you 
will need Java 1.6 (available from the java-migration-packages overlay), a 
lot of free disk space in /var/tmp/portage, a lot of patience and some luck. 
Also, there are still some problems, it still crashes on me now and then.

Uhmm...I think I will use the 32bit binary version... ;-)
Thankyou any way!!

In general, when you see masked package in 'emerge --search',
whether you can use it or not depends on how it is masked.
If it was ~amd64, meaning it is in testing stage, you could compile it and 
probably be happy, but openoffice is -amd64, which means it does not work.
Unfortunately 'emerge --search' does not give this detailed information.
One way to check is to run

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~amd64' emerge --pretend openoffice and see if
this unmasks the package.
