Doing a simple emerge of openoffice 1.0.3 I find the following link in the /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0.3/program/ catalogue lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 89 Oct 6 22:06 libstdc++.so -> /var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.0.3-r1/image/opt/OpenOffice.org1.0.3/program/libstdc++.so.5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Oct 6 22:06 libstdc++.so.5 -> libstdc++.so.5.0.3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 914485 Oct 6 22:06 libstdc++.so.5.0.3 As I cannot get openoffice to start (The famour abort error) I have no idea if fixing this is relevant.

the following should fix it: cd /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0.3/program/ ln -sf libstdc++.so.5 libstdc++.so But I really wonder how you get this link. (btw. is this the binary or the source version?)
Jeah, did that. This was compiled from source. No funny business. Just emerge openoffice.
I don't really know what to do about it
