Can't emerge openoffice-1.1.0-r2

[POLAX]

When I try to emerge openoffice 1.1.0-r2 I get the following error:

Using minimal CFLAGS (-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe) doesn't help and neither does removing all database stuff (-berkdb, -odbc, -oci8, -mysql, -postgres, etc...) from the USE flags...

Anybody have any ideas

I'd use openoffice-bin anyway, because (taken from the ebuild):

Code: Select all

# IMPORTANT:  This is extremely alpha!!!

# Notes:
#
#   This will take a HELL of a long time to compile, be warned.
#   According to openoffice.org, it takes approximately 12 hours on a
#   P3/600 with 256mb ram.  And thats where building is its only task.
#
#   It takes about 6 hours on my P4 1.8 with 512mb memory, and the
#   build only needs about 2.1GB of disk space - Azarah.
#
#   You will also need a bucketload of diskspace ... in the order of
#   4-5 gb free to store all the compiled files and installation
#   directories.

I probably should...but I want this compiled from source.
It's the reason I use gentoo and not RH or Mandrake

Which version of tar do you have installed? Normally this is a known problem with a buggy tar, try to do an emerge sync and update to the latest version.

[POLAX]

I had no idea that a mildly outdated tar could be a problem
This would be a first for compile issues...but I'll try.

My current version is 1.13.92 I'll try to upgrade...

Well, it is OpenOffice, after all, the hardest package in the history of source-based Linux distros to successfully compile without errors.

I'm merging it myself at the moment, and to the best of my knowledge, everything is up to date; openoffice-ximian failed a couple of days ago but I'm trying the vanilla version now. Wish me luck!

I didn't see this particular bug in bugzilla, but when I have had similar problems, posting the bug there helped me work through it.

That's exactly the version which is bugged (this has nothing to do with "outdated" this version is just plain broken and already removed from portage), 1.13.92-r3 should work fine
