[gentoo-user] Does openoffice really require pam?

[Alexander Skwar]

Hi!

I'm building a USE=-pam system and thus don't have pam installed.
Now I wanted to compile openoffice and found, that it would install
pam:

server tmp # USE=-* emerge -vpt app-office/openoffice
These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N] app-office/openoffice-1.1.4-r1  -curl -hardened -java -kde 
-nptl -zlib 215,331 kB
[ebuild  N]  sys-libs/pam-0.78-r2  -berkdb -nis -pam_chroot -pam_console 
-pam_timestamp -pwdb (-selinux) 562 kB
[ebuild  N]  app-shells/tcsh-6.14  -perl 883 kB

I don't really want to install pam just because of OOo. Does OOo
*REALLY* require pam?

Regards,

Alexander Skwar

No, but tcsh does, and openoffice's build system requires tcsh.

So it's possible to

#emerge -Ca app-shells/tcsh
#emerge -p --depclean
[have a nice reading]
#emerge --depclean

To get rid of them after them after ?

Couldn't you use the binary ooo package to avoid the build-time dependency?
