Description David Watzke 2008-10-10 20:35:40 UTC 
app-office/openoffice-3.0.0* needs sys-libs/pam... without it configure fails with a msg that you need pam-devel installed.
Comment 1 virdiq 2008-10-15 15:59:22 UTC 
Temporary workaround:

emerge -1 --no-deps pam
emerge openoffice
emerge -C pam

From http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Remove_PAM#Install_OpenOffice_then_remove_PAM

I'm not sure how reliable the advice is about not needing PAM after it has been compiled, so try at your own risk.
Comment 2 rafnov 2008-10-17 09:42:32 UTC 
Workaround works for me.
Anyway - emerge broken after unpacking source tarball is still annoying.
Ebuild should contain information about needed pam and display it before emerge openoffice even starts. Or maybe pull pam as a dependency required to compile Open Office 3.0.0.
Comment 3 Hanno Zysik (geki) 2008-10-17 12:31:59 UTC 
@David
OpenOffice.org does not need pam for quite some time.

@Andreas
You add '$(use_enable pam)' to '${CONFFILE}'. That is wrong.
Please add that to ooo-build configure in src_compile. :)

Thanks for the advice, hanno. I've changed this accordingly now.

Can someone confirm that this is fixed now?
