I just emerged app-office/openoffice-3.2.0 on a Power Mac G4 (ARCH=ppc) without errors and the applications seem to work just fine. ------------------------------ G4QS ~ # emerge -pv app-office/openoffice These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Note: I emerged my version of OpenOffice.org 3.2.0.10 additionally with USE="java" enabled, even though java useflag is also masked for ppc.
I had this bug for the USE="kde" unmasking and bug #319471 for USE="java"… Just so that I mention it… Cheers, A.
I've removed the mask, feel free to reopen the bug if there are problems.
