[gentoo-user] Here is an amazing thing re OpenOffice:

I am using gentoo because I want to be able to compile the latest and 
greatest.
How odd it is that I can only find OpenOffice 1.1.4, where the FedoraCore
machines at my school have had OpenOffice 2.0 all (Summer) term.

I've not done a lot with masked versions, but I do have universe, multiverse 
and
backports. I see no signs of 2.0.

How can this be, gen-too-ers? Surely, I'm missing something. What did I mess 
up?

Actually your Fedora boxes weren't running 2.0 they where running 1.9 which 
is the beta for 2.0. If you want to run that on Gentoo you need to add 
`app-office/openoffice-bin` to your /etc/portage/package.unmask and 
`app-office/openoffice-bin ~x86` to your /etc/portage/package.keywords file 
then emerge openoffice-bin. You didn't miss a thing, its just hard masked 
development. because it's not stable and it does crash often enough but its 
well worth the install.

Also as far as I know there is no such thing as universe, multiverse, and 
backports gor Gentoo. In any case good luck getting it running, once you get 
it unmasked its just as easy as the "real deal" (if you will).

Oh, um er, right. All that stuff is another distro. I'm an equal opportunity 
newbie,
and its making me crazier than usual.

And I guess I got over-impressed with the opening screen, which says 2.0.
I don't have admin priviliges there, and never asked what the package 
version is.

I'll try your formula and see what happens.

Actually, when I do what you say, I get

treat portage # emerge -a openoffice-bin

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B ] app-office/openoffice (is blocking app-office/openoffice-
bin-1.9.122)
[ebuild N ] app-office/openoffice-bin-1.9.122

!!! Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be 
installed
!!! on the same system.

Uninstall the standard OpenOffice first?

 Yes, you will have to remove the older OOo first then the new one will 
install just fine.
