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. The configuration dialog shows in the Java settings the installed JDKs of IBM, 1.6 is selected on my system. ------------------------------ G4QS ~ # emerge -pv app-office/openoffice These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

I searched and searched but cannot find this bug anymore. If I do I'll post it here. If I remember correctly, "java-config --jdk-home" (in the openoffice ebuild) returned the JDK 1.6 paths regardless what I had configured as system-vm with java-config. When I had hard-coded the JDK 1.5 paths into the ebuild it worked, even with JDK 1.6 present in the system. As of now, the build of OOo works also with IBM JDK 1.6 on ppc. If some other ppc user can confirm this, the java useflag should be unmasked to get the full potential of OOo also on PowerPC systems. This may also apply to ARCH=ppc64. Note: I emerged my version of OpenOffice.org 3.2.0.10 additionally with USE="kde" enabled, even though kde useflag is also masked for ppc.
Fount it! I think it must have been bug 215369 that caused USE="java" to be masked for PowerPC. Well, works now on my system. If only anyone could confirm this… Cheers, Andreas.
Actually, it was bug 225723 comment #8 from Brent Baude. I never quite understood this, OpenOffice.org always used to work for me with IBM JDK, at least 1.5 with the older OOo's, and now with OOo-3.2.0 it also works with IBM JDK 1.6.0.7 – at least for me. Cheers, Andreas.
Please, paste your "emerge --info" output. Thank you for your report.

Just for completeness: I have requested the USE="kde" unmasking in bug #319467 – apparently the summary has been changed there to "remove kde/java USE masking"…
Thanks for the heads up. I've removed the mask, feel free to reopen this bug if there are problems.
