Hi!

I started an emerge openoffice last night. This
morning I found that the emerge failed and that the
installation has eaten all my space on the hard drive.
I had 1.7GB free and this morning it was 0 GB. 

How can I find out how much space I need? 

And do I get this space back after the compiling
process is finished?

Thanks!

That's nowhere near enough.

Trial and error :)

Generally, an OOo build needs around 3-5GB.

Yes. The reason you didn't get it back is that the emerge aborted so it
didn't clean up after itself.

You may find it easier to use openoffice-bin, unless this isn't available for your architecture.

I think that one of the bests options to install openoffice is:

emerge app-office/openoffice-bin

Install the binaries because if you install the sources you have to wait
a long time...

if you like see how much memory need the program you can do this:

emerge --search openoffice-bin

And you haver something like that:

 pp-office/openoffice-bin
       Latest version available: 2.0.2
       Latest version installed: 2.0.2
       Size of files: 1,428,961 kB

The ebuild should have told you something like "you need 256MB RAM and 4-6GB
space" and even warn you if you don't have enough. I think there's also a
portage FEATURE that makes these checks to abort emerge if they fail,
instead of just warn. Can't find the feature's name now, though.

And do I get this space back after the compiling

You can get it instantly, remove everything in /var/tmp/portage/ (when you
are not emerging something).

You can't. You'll have to rely on experience.

For OOo, you should have as much as about 6 GB available.

Yes, you do - if the process is *successfully* finished.

So how about doing an
emerge -av openoffice-bin?

What about it? :)

emerging openoffice-bin will not wipe what's left of the
failed emerge of openoffice in /var/tmp/portage.

But emerging openoffice-bin will not require ~6GB in /var/tmp/portage.

Hello,

When I start up open office (amd64)
I get these error messages:

ooffice  ./CCPS-fiber-co.doc
QSettings: failed to open file '/usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qtrc'


(process:9443): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_screen_get_font_options: assertion
`GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed


The first one I fixed (?) by changing file permissions:
chmod 666 /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qtrc


The second looks like  missing fonts or a configuration error?

In the middle of may I fixed the spell-check problem but this
font error seems to still be with me. Everything I've tested
with OO is working, but, I still get this error message to 
the terminal session when I fire up OO from the command line.


Recompiling OO does not get rid of this message.
Any suggestions are appreciated.


James

Should be:

chown root:root <path to file>
chmod 644 <path to file>

What did you already do in an attempt to fix it? I see the forums and 
b.g.o. have many recent posts about this, don't want to duplicate all 
the questions all over again.

The results of
emerge -pv openoffice
emerge --info
would also help
