The site you linked contains binary for macos, but I would like to use oo= =20 under Gentoo. My machine is even not a mac, but a pegasos (maybe someone=20 heard about it :) ). It is possible that my hardware is weak for compiling oo, because I have = only=20 256M memory. What is the hardware requirements of the oo compilation?
