I've got OpenOffice (compiled), v3.0.0 here.  It appears broken.
I haven't tried a lot of things, but this little RTF file gets it wedged right
away: the console that started it says:

error - missing word count in dictionary file
Hash Manager Error : 4

So I'm guessing there's a problem in a spell checker.  Where would I
look to solve that?

This may help:

Spell checking is provided through our own myspell-ebuilds,
if you want to use it, please install the correct myspell package
according to your language needs.

Check to make sure myspell is installed correctly, perhaps re-emerge it.

As far as I remember , openoffice-3 doesnt uses myspell packages. It has its 
own spelling dictionaries. But i am not 100% sure about that ...

After upgraded to version 3, I installed the portuguese dictionary by
openoffice extension (downloaded from openoffice extension site).
So, I dont use myspell dictionaries anymore and unmerge it.

Well, I quoted that from the message after OOo was done compiling.  I
would assume that whoever put that message there knows what OOo uses.  I
have no clue myself.  Mine just works, so far at least.

I wish I could be so lucky.  After reading some of the comments here,
I re-synced,
unmerged Ooo, and emerged openoffice and hunspell.  I already had the myspell-en
build.

The result:  a clean compile, as near as I can tell, but useless.  Now it quits
silently a second or so into any startup, with or without a filename on the
command line.  No message on the terminal where
I start it, and no clue I can see about what's wrong.

I'm back to MSOffice.  I hate it but it works.

>root (hd0,4)
>kernel (hd0,4)/ --> and when I tab here I cant list the content.

So I used the live CD and chrooted  to the installed environment . there
I realized that I don't have any files for my hdd in the /dev/ folder
... Is this the issue... Please advise me . Cuz I went trough the

Ok, first thing to do is resubmit this post with a useful subject title :-)

Many people like to file things away or ignore stuff that they're not interested in, so the subject is important.

I've been using OO 3.0.0 & Hunspell 1.2.6 happily for several weeks.
I don't use spell-checking, but AFAIK it is enabled.
I don't have Myspell installed: could that be your problem ?
Have you checked for Gentoo bugs & the Gentoo forum ?

That does seem a bit extreme ... (smile)

Sorry, might be coming late to this discussion and offering something that was 
already offered, but how about openoffice-bin ? It works for me 100% of the 
time on several workstations without a glitch (both x86 and amd64)?

For most distros (I guess) and Windows and Apple, that's right.  But it
isn't the Gentoo way.  ;)

You need to emerge --sync again (there's an update to the ebuild, but no version increment IIRC) and rebuild openoffice.

After a --sync, this is the result:

I don't know whether it helps, but when I got the missing word count

been working fine since then.

My machine has 13380, so it looks like the ebuild hasn't been updated on your mirror yet. Maybe try emerge --sync again or try it against a different mirror.

I really wish they wouldn't do that, especially for hang or crash
bugs.  I know people without the problem don't want to recompile OOo,
but it's annoying to have to watch bugzilla or the changelog to see if
the ebuild has been fixed.

I agree.  This should only be done for build problems, not runtime 
problems.  I think there's even a policy in place for that; if it 
doesn't build, change the ebuild.  If it crashes at runtime, bump the 
revision.
