Yes, OpenOffice alone really does require almost 5 GB of space to build. Even more if you have FEATURE=buildpkg set. > Most of the space seems to be taken up by /var/tmp which I can't clear out > with rmdir because there are hundreds of subdirectories under that all > apparently full of files. To nuke subdirectories recursively use rm -r dirname, not rmdir If you no-shit have 5 GB free on whatever partition has /var/tmp on it, then you should be ok. Otherwise, download the openoffice-bin package, and it should just work.
