If I compile OO.o-2.0.2 with the hi (Hindi) LINGUA then I cannot save as odt, sxw, ods etc. - basically all the xml based formats. If I comment out the LINGUA in my make.conf and then build OO.o-2.0.2 then the problem goes away. I don't think it'll be necessary for bugfixing but if you need a good Hindi font, you can find one at: http://tdil.mit.gov.in/download/GISTYogeshN.htm Screenshot of the bug: http://191a.net/oobug.png bhim ~ # emerge -vt openoffice >>> --tree implies --pretend... adding --pretend to options. openoffice is compiled with the following USE flags: [ebuild R ] app-office/openoffice-2.0.2 -binfilter +cairo -eds +firefox +gnome +gtk +java +kde -ldap +mono +mozilla +xml2 0 kB bhim ~ # emerge info Portage 2.0.54 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.5, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -mmmx -msse -mfpmath=sse" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -mmmx -msse -mfpmath=sse" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig buildpkg ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ http://mirror.gentoo.gr.jp http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/gentoo/ http://ftp.gentoo.or.kr/" LINGUAS="hi" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://localhost/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 7zip X aalib acl acpi alsa amarok apm asf atm audiofile avi bash-completion bashlogger berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo caps ccache cdparanoia cdr cgi cpudetection crypt css csv cups curl dbus dga dhcp dnd dpms dri dv dvd dvdr dvdread edl effects encode ethereal exif expat fam ffmpeg fftw firefox flac flash fltk font-server foomaticdb fpx gd gdbm gif gimp gimpprint gkrellm glitz glut gmp gnome gphoto2 gpm gs gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml gvim gzip hal hddtemp html i8x0 icu id3 idn imagemagick imap imlib imlib2 inkjar jack jack-tmpfs java javascript jbig jpeg kde kdeenablefinal kdexdeltas lcms libcaca libclamav libg++ libwww lm_sensors lua lzo mad mailbox maildir mbox memlimit mhash mime ming mmx mng mono motif mozilla moznoirc moznomail mozsvg mp3 mpeg mpeg2 mpi mplayer msn msnextras musicbrainz mysql nagios-dns nagios-ntp nagios-ping nagios-ssh nas ncurses nethack network new-login nfs nls nptl nsplugin ogg oggvorbis openal openexr opengl oss pam pango pcre pdf pdflib perl php pic png postfix ppds python qt quicktime readline real recode rrdtool rtc samba scanner sdk sdl silc slang slp smp sndfile snmp socks5 sox speex spell sqlite sse sse2 ssl svg symlink tcltk tcpd tga theora tiff toolbar truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev underscores unicode ups usb userlocales utf8 v4l v4l2 vcd vim-with-x visualization vorbis webdav wma wmf wxwindows x11vnc xine xml xml2 xmms xosd xpm xprint xrandr xscreensaver xv xvid xvmc yahoo zeroconf zlib video_cards_i810 linguas_hi userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS Thanks for your time, Aniruddha Shankar New Delhi, India
Sounds like the filters are not created correctly, (see also bug #110131), in this case most likely a result of not being fully translated, so might be the best to remove hindi-language-support for now
Did you try to build with both hi and en LINGUA? If not: Would you try and see if this changes anything?
After building openoffice-2.0.2-r2 with the en LINGUA I was able to save files in .odt and .ods formats.
I think this could have been an error on my part, the correct LINGUA-variable for Hindi is hi_IN and NOT hi, so the problem might have been, that no translation was built at all. I've fixed that now, so could you please "emerge --sync" (give the mirrors some hours to catch up) and try again with the hi_IN LINGUA?
Closing this, should be fixed, see my last comment, if not reopen
