Same problem here, but the installation asked me to locate g++ suggesting /usr/include/g++-3.

I entered the path:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/include/g++-v3

but the installation process did not find the directory and suggested to create a new one.

On third retry I finally I said ok and I guess /usr/include/g++-3 was created. The process started unpacking (or whatever), but 15 minutes later it all ended with:

While waiting for an answer one could perhaps install an oo-binary?

Does anybody know how to do that?

The same problem was reported on the gentoo-user mailing list and you can resolve that problem by downgrading to gcc-3.2.1 instead of gcc-3.2.1r6 which I think is the current. I have done that and it passes the initial build error, creates a load of directories and starts compiling. It fails later on but somebody has suggested using Sun Java instead of Blackdown. Will try again tonight.
