It's very nice isn't it. The Gentoo Desktop developers are great and
mighty.

I would recommend just downloading the latest linux binaries for now. 
The openoffice setup program doesn't lend itself to easy scripted
installs and the compile will take you ~24 hours (on a fast machine). 
This is the one application that comes close to bringing Gentoo to its
knees

Here's how I installed it.

First, emerge the latest dev-java/blackdown-{jdk,jre}  OpenOffice should
automagically detect the blackdown java during setup.

Then, unpack the openoffice binary tarball somewhere convenient, and

cd <somewhere_convenient>/install

As root run,

./setup /net

I would recommend installing to /opt/OpenOffice641

Then as user, run

/opt/OpenOffice641/setup

choose the smaller install.


Doing the initial setup with the "/net", flag will install the bulk of
openoffice in /opt.  You can then choose the minimal install for each
user who needs openoffice on the local machine or over your lan.  You
could also skip the "/net" flag, but then you would install a full blown
oppenoffice for each user.


Hope that helps

[gentoo-dev] OpenOffice

[Tristan Sloughter]

I have tried to emerge openoffice, the source not bin, but it gives this 
error:

Calculating dependencies |
!!! Error: couldn't find match for >=sys-devel/gcc-3.0.4-r3 in 
app-office/openoffice-641d-r1

What is wrong here, it tells me i need gcc-3.0.4-r3, yet its not 
available to be emerged. Ive found the .ebuild on my system for that 
version of gcc, but i cant get that to emerge either. What is going on 
here, is it just a mess up that will be fixed soon? Id really like to 
emerge the openoffice source.

Maybe you should emerge sync first.  Openoffice-641d-r1.ebuild is not
in my portage tree.  When you have ebuild problems it always helps to
make sure you have the latest ebuilds.

It's actually telling you that it needs a version of gcc that is "greater than
or equal" to 3.0.4-r3.

So emerge gcc-3.1 and you should be right.

If you have installed gentoo from a 1.0/1.1/1.2 iso image then you are more than
likely using a gcc-2.95 profile, if this is the case then the gcc-3.1 ebuild may
well be masked or not available for installation using emerge.  All is not lost,
you can install it like so:

ebuild /full/path/to/gcc-3.1.ebuild merge

Yes, you can have both gcc-2.95 & gcc-3.1 installed on the same machine and they
will play nicely together.
