with the firefox (and presumably seamonkey, but I haven't tested this) USE flag enabled, openoffice requires at least nspr-4.6.6, but the ebuild only depends on >=dev-libs/nspr-4.6.2. openoffice config: checking which Mozilla flavour to use... Firefox checking for firefox-xpcom ... Package 'NSPR' requires 'nspr >= 4.6.6' but version of NSPR is 4.6.5 configure: error: Library requirements (firefox-xpcom ) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

rather a firefox ebuild issue
(In reply to comment #1) > rather a firefox ebuild issue > It is openoffice which fails, that makes it an openoffice issue.
no. have a look at firefox *.pc files. then check its ebuild. ;)

Raising the dependency here is wrong on our side, as this is not necessary for older Firefox versions Reassigning to Mozilla herd for input / comment
What? Name: XPCOM Description: The Mozilla Cross Platform Component Library Version: 2.0.0.3 Requires: firefox-nspr >= 4.6.5 That's what my firefox-xpcom.pc file says.
Note that openoffice-2.2.1 has the exact same issue. If the firefox USE flag is set, then the the ebuild fails at configure. - John
I've raised the dependency for openoffice-2.3.0 now, so closing.
