Thanks for the reply.
The site you linked contains binary for macos, but I would like to use oo 
under Gentoo. My machine is even not a mac, but a pegasos (maybe someone 
heard about it :) ).
It is possible that my hardware is weak for compiling oo, because I have only 
256M memory.
What is the hardware requirements of the oo compilation?


Thanks,
Istvan
