Bug 228283 – openoffice-2.4.x and firefox 3

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Joel 2008-06-19 05:12:30 UTC]

I've instaled firefox-3, but openoffice-2-4.x tries to downgrade it to firefox-2. I've changed the ebuild (only changed mozilla-firefox-2* with mozilla-firefox-3*), but then, the emerge fails with this:
rsc -presponse @/var/tmp/portage/app-office/openoffice-2.4.1/temp/mkTHZv44 > /dev/null

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `firefox-plugin.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

I try to emerge openoffice with these USE:

I think you should not use firefox useflag instead of xulrunner.

[Comment 2 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2008-06-19 14:56:15 UTC]

OOo is not compatible with FF3.

> OOo is not compatible with FF3.

I am running FF3 with OOo on many distros and also on Windows. Only Gentoo seems to have problems.

I emerged OOo and it downgraded to FF2.  I then upgraded to FF3 again.  Everything works as it should, but an emerge -u world wants to downgrade again.

[Comment 4 Michael Behrns-Miller 2008-10-06 18:05:31 UTC]

Exact same problem here.  I've tried unmasking/keywording FF3, openoffice, xulrunner and other dependencies with no luck.

Here's [emerge --info] output:

Try removing "firefox" from USE and put "xulrunner" in there instead.

THANKS Nikos, you're fast!  And dead on.  I just figured that out and came back to post, but you beat me to it.  :>

And thanks to all the other great gentoo folks too.  i <3 gentoo.
