I tried libreoffice with the same result. Much more strangely, I enabled a 10GB swap file and got the same error. I thought it was a virtual memory problem at first but now that I look more closely it looks like a java problem: Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for code cache JavaVM: JNI_CreateJavaVM called _exit, caught by abort_handler in javavm.cxx [Java framework] sunjavaplugin.soCan not create JavaVirtualMachine, abort handler was called. [Java framework] The JRE specified by the bootstrap variable UNO_JAVA_JFW_JREHOME or UNO_JAVA_JFW_ENV_JREHOME could not be recognized. Check the values and make sure that you use a plug-in library that can recognize that JRE. register component 'file:///var/tmp/portage/app-office/libreoffice-3.3.1/work/libreoffice-build-3.3.1.2/build/libreoffice-3.3.1.2/testtools/source/bridgetest/../../unxlngx6.pro/class/testComponent.jar' in registry '../../unxlngx6.pro/lib/uno_services.rdb' failed! error (CannotRegisterImplementationException): Could not create Java implementation loader dmake: Error code 1, while making '../../unxlngx6.pro/lib/uno_services.rdb' Is this because I've eselect'ed icedtea6-bin instead of sun-jdk-1.6? BTW, can anyone tell me why I'm using icedtea6-bin instead of icedtea? - Grant
