I have the openoffice-ximian-bin installed, which I installed after unmerging an earlier OOo-ximian source ebuild. I did not encounter any problems with it, however.

Sorry, I don't have any suggestions to address your problem with it. Did you try launching just xooffice rather than a specific application of it?

I just posted this to another thread but will do it here too.

The fix that worked for me was to re-emerge openssl. Someone suggested installing linc, which I already had so I re-emerged that one before doing openssl.

Hope this helps.
