It seems that we will have to be patient. The various bug reports have been marked resolved or duplicate, but as yet there no sign of an updated STLport in portage - except for the ~arch STLport-5.1.2. Bug #172680 indicates that this ~arch version of STLport resolves the OpenOffice compilation problem. However, I am very reluctant to use an ~arch ebuild to compile such a massive (but apparently delicate) ebuild as OpenOffice. The patches in bug # 172680 mention an STLport-5.1.0-r1, but it has not yet appeared in portage. There is a request # 173175 to stabilise STLport-5.1.2 in bugzilla. Oh well, patience is a virtue. Or so they say. Cheers, Dave -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
