If it doesn't fit your system, it's not even able to fit your needs (because in this case, it simply doesn't run). > That's why binary packages are provided.

OTOH, installing a big, complex software package like OOo as a binary that was compiled with unknown options (aka USE flags) on a completely different system into a system that was installed from sources, with eventually completely different USE flags set can't be the best option. It may or may not work. Bye... Dirk
