Re: [gentoo-user] openoffice 3 broken?
The result: a clean compile, as near as I can tell, but useless. Now it quits silently a second or so into any startup, with or without a filename on the command line. No message on the terminal where I start it, and no clue I can see about what's wrong. I'm back to MSOffice. I hate it but it works. Have you not tried Openoffice-bin?

Hi I have am new to Gentoo. Ok, first thing to do is resubmit this post with a useful subject title :-) Many people like to file things away or ignore stuff that they're not interested in, so the subject is important.
RE: [gentoo-user] openoffice 3 broken?
I've got OpenOffice (compiled), v3.0.0 here. It appears broken. I haven't tried a lot of things, but this little RTF file gets it wedged right away: the console that started it says: error - missing word count in dictionary file Hash Manager Error : 4 So I'm guessing there's a problem in a spell checker. Where would I look to solve that? http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=242020 You need to emerge --sync again (there's an update to the ebuild, but no version increment IIRC) and rebuild openoffice.
