I was having problems getting OO to build. I issued the following bug report. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126937
In my case the it was due to a hardware issue. I kept retrying the emerge and at last it succeeded (on a very very cold evening...). My best guess is that the large volume of builds was causing my CPU to over heat. This guess was bolster by the fact that I am able to get consistent successful builds of OO when I pull of the computer's case and direct a cooling fan on the computers internals. :-) I realize my "fix/work around" might not sit well with most people. But in my defense, it is just a toy computer that I have fun tinkering around with. --- Meino Christian Cramer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Jeff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] OpenOffice build failed. > Date: Thu, 25 May 2006 00:17:27 -0400 > > > Good Lord man... why would you want to compile OO from source? > > Since gentoo offers this... > > Or in other words: > Why does gentoo offer it, if one needs to be god to get it run ??? > :) > > > > > > > emerge openoffice-bin > > > > :-) > > > > Meino Christian Cramer wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > > > I tried to build OpenOffice from source.
