Does offering to compile -gnome make any difference to the proposed build? ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pv openoffice These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [blocks B ] app-office/openoffice-bin (is blocking app-office/openoffice-2.0.0) [ebuild N ] sys-libs/pam-0.78-r2 -berkdb -nis -pam_chroot -pam_console -pam_timestamp -pwdb (-selinux) 562 kB [ebuild N ] dev-perl/Archive-Zip-1.16 108 kB [ebuild N ] dev-java/ant-core-1.6.5-r2 -doc -source 6,136 kB [ebuild N ] app-shells/tcsh-6.14-r1 +perl 859 kB [ebuild N ] app-office/openoffice-2.0.0 +curl -eds *+gnome* +java -kde +ldap -mozilla +nas +python +xml2 +zlib 209,311 kB I use the -bin, as you can see, and I don't really use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS on the command line (because that's A Bad Thing), but I just wanted to quickly see if the 2.0 version of openoffice had a +gnome keyword, and it does (the stable version doesn't). That said, I don't see what the GNOME libs are likely to 'do' to your KDE system-- more likely less damage than the KDE libs generally do to my mostly-GNOME based system, and much less damage than the proposed addition of PAM does to almost any system, ime. What exactly are you worried might happen? Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
