Success on compiling OOo! I'm quite certain it was the ebuild, and that making it use the internal redland and not the system redland was the issue in my case.
However, I've undone my changes in the ebuild and began compiling again so that I can confirm it fails with only that change. I had also rebuilt redland, but as I told OOo not to use the system redland, that's why I'm checking again with the default ebuild. Presuming my guess here is correct, then I need to make a bugzilla post on the matter. That's probably true anyway since I got the message: * QA Notice: * Package openoffice is breaking /usr/share/config permissions. * Please report this issue to gentoo bugzilla. * Permissions will get adjusted automatically now. But that could be from my tinkering in the ebuild as well. My assumption on the cause of the problem is that I'm missing some dependency of redland that OOo expects, and it's not called in explicitly by portage. Either that or somehow I diffed my own install (would be news to me). > FWIW, here's what I have (my OOo build works fine): > > dev-libs/redland-1.0.9-r1 > dev-java/lucene - 2.3.2 > app-office/openoffice-3.1.1 (bash-completion cups dbus gstreamer gtk java > kde ldap -mono -odk) > These are the same as mine, with the exceptions that my lucene is slotted and my OOo has less USE flags.
