It's still _possible_ to build it from source, but they created a separate "openoffice-bin" package for the sole purpose of _not_ compiling it from source, and it's what they recommend installing. > At the same time, it was always possible to use prebuilt packages as an > alternative - the same way as it is possible for a few other packages > (Firefox, Thunderbird, Seamonkey, maybe more). But AFAIK compiling from > source is still the preferred method. Apparently not for Open Office. First hit googling "gentoo openoffice install": http://grokdoc.net/index.php/Gentoo-OpenOffice.org The next two hits are bug tracker entries, and the one after that: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/gentoo-linux-help/71086-installing- openoffice-question.html Contains this cut and paste from emerge output: These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "openoffice" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - app-office/openoffice-2.0.4_rc1-r1 (masked by: package.mask, package.mask, ~am d64 keyword) # 2005/10/24 Simon Stelling <blubb@...too.org> # Don't even try to compile openoffice-2.x, it won't work. But not to go too far down this rathole, I'm just using openoffice as an example here.
