With the 3.0.0 (though, not 3.0.1), the amd64 build of openoffice-bin has been provided as a 64-bit binary. However, the ebuild still references to "inherit multilib;" so, the merge attempt bails out on a no-multilib profile. After removing this from the ebuild, openoffice-bin merges, installs, and starts OK on my no-multilib machine. I currently run stable amd64, with the exception of gcc, the kernel, and xorg: ajb@thinkpad ~ $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.6.7 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/no-multilib, gcc-4.3.3, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r1, 2.6.28.8 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.28.8-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_T7250_@_2.00GHz-with-glibc2.2.5 Timestamp of tree: Sun, 22 Mar 2009 15:00:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-lang/python: 2.5.2-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi aim amd64 berkdb bzip2 cairo cddb cdr cli dbus djvu dri dvd dvdr dvdread encode flac gdbm gif gimp gphoto2 gstreamer gtk hal iconv imagemagick isdnlog jpeg lame laptop mad midi mmx mng mp3 mpeg mplayer msn mudflap ncurses nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp oscar pcre pdf png pppd readline reflection session smp spl sqlite3 sse sse2 ssl svg sysfs taglib tcpd theora threads tiff unicode usb vorbis wifi x264 xorg xscreensaver xulrunner xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="mouse keyboard evdev synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="vesa intel" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. switch to no-multilib 2. attempto to install app-office/openoffice-bin-3.0.0 3.

Sorry, this is actually an amd64 "bug" / request, and not related to the openoffice build itself: $ grep openoffice-bin /usr/portage/profiles/features/64bit-native/package.mask app-office/openoffice-bin This grabs a native 64-bit build these days, so should be fine for the nomultilib profile too.
Not a OOo bug, closing
