If I open the menu "Help -> OpenOffice.org Help F1", then, es expected, a new windows pops up woth the help index, but the right part of the window (where the help messages should be) is empty. The command line reports the error: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "file:///usr/lib/openoffice/help/main_transform.xsl" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge opoenoffice 2. open openoffice 3. click on "Help -> OpenOffice.org help F1" Actual Results: Help windows contains the help index (left part of window), but the right part of window is empty Expected Results: On the right part of help window I should see the help message Besides the Help problem, openoffice works well. I also have some errors like the following ones, which are apparently independent from the help problem and DO NOT prevent openoffice from working.

The ebuild warns you at the start of the build, that you'll get no help when building without java, so no bug here.
@Andreas AFAIS it should work wrt CXXHelpLinker. Or do you skip that section somehow? It is at least in the apply file. Anyway, I had this issue, too, with my version. Though, I do not remember how I fixed it. :(
