Did the compiler segfault? If it did then it sounds more like a toolchain/kernel problem than an openoffice problem. > At the beginning the compiling process has a notification about that > it's not an easy task, and openoffice is vulnerable for some chflags > settings.

You shouldn't have to do anything special, but openoffice is a bit of a bitch to compile (mostly due to the amount of time it takes though). The openoffice-bin package is a bit old on ppc, it's based on an RPM. You can (usually) grab a binary package of openoffice (built on Gentoo) from my dev page, http://dev.gentoo.org/~dholm/ppc.html Did you solve your DMA issues? //David Holm
