Tried your file in OO.o 3.2.1.  Let me get you my USE flags for
reference: cups dbus gstreamer gtk java ldap nsplugin opengl* pam
(-aqua) -bash-completion* -binfilter -debug -eds -gnome -kde
(-kdeenablefinal) -odk -templates

I hope that's cool for you.  So I didn't build it with opengl, but I
did with bash-completion, and I changed make.conf since.

Anyway, if you ask me, libreoffice is still in the works in terms of
the ebuild.  I don't want to toot my own horn, but see
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=295268 which very well
indicates that the libreoffice ebuild was not derived from, nor
seriously considering past problems encountered by, the openoffice
ebuild.  IMO I'd hash it to a libreoffice problem, since I can open
your document over here.

Don't get me wrong, I'll be more than happy to switch to libreoffice,
but I'm not convinced, at the very least, that the Gentoo team has it
squared away yet.  No blame there, it's just as easily an upstream
problem.

But I really doubt it's a USE flag...

Cheers,

[gentoo-user] Gnumeric USE options and .xlsx files?

2011-03-02 Thread Walter Dnes
  Is Gnumeric unable to handle Excel .xlsx files or am I missing a USE
flag somewhere?  Or is there a quick-n-dirty viewer/translator?  I've
downloaded a file from Auto Observer.  Gnumeric segfaults trying to open
it, after issuing the message...

  I'm running pure 64-bit AMD64 Gentoo on an Intel i3.  Any ideas other
than one of the *Office alternatives?  They're best described as
