I have compiled OOo 2 on my Gentoo laptop and I am having problems opening Excel files. Quite simply, the files open withour error but all numeric values are zero. Clicking on a cell reveals a scientific notation style number such as "1.48539705365595E-313" in all numeric value cells. Formula cells appear intact (but of course all of their calculations are on zero values).

The same files worked perfectly on OOo 1.1.5 compiled on the same laptop and on my Windows box (both OOo versions). Data values are correctly maintained wehn opening Calc or OpenDocument files.

Any suggestions?

Test with the binaries from the OOo people. You don't seriously expect people in this user group to support a gentoo-customized build, do you?

quickpkg openoffice
emerge unmerge openoffice
emerge openoffice-bin

If you can't reproduce the error with the binaries, then file a report at:
bugs.gentoo.org

I can say, however, that Gentoo's build does in fact work ... and work well. Perhaps you've got some offensive CFLAGS?
