I tried emerging OpenOffice 1.1.0-r2 last night, and when I got in this morning I noticed that the process seems to have been stuck at the same place since early in the morning. The last thing on the screen was: Preprocessor startline: rscpp @/var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.0-r2/temp/fileHXzqAC Preprocessor commandline: -I../unxlngi4.pro/res/49 -I../unxlngi4.pro/res/49 -I. ./unx/res -I../res -I../win/res -I../../res -I../win/res -I../source/svdraw -I/var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.0-r2/work/oo_1.1_src -I../inc -I. -I/var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.0-r2/work/oo_1.1_src/solver/645/unxlngi4.pro/inc/stl -I/var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.0-r2/work/oo_1.1_src/solver/645/unxlngi4.pro/inc/external -I/var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.0-r2/work/oo_1.1_src/solver/645/unxlngi4.pro/inc -I/var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.0-r2/work/oo_1.1_src/solenv/unxlngi4/inc -I/var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.0-r2/work/oo_1.1_src/solenv/inc -I/var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.0-r2/work/oo_1.1_src/res -I/var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.0-r2/work/oo_1.1_src/solver/645/unxlngi4.pro/inc/stl -I/var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.0-r2/work/oo_1.1_src/solenv/inc/Xp31 -I/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/include -I/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/include/linux -I/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/include/native_threads/include -I/usr/X11R6/include ../unxlngi4.pro/srs/mnuctrls.srs /var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.0-r2/temp/fileLZOAxV Preprocessor startline: rscpp @/var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.0-r2/temp/file7kjLue # 1 "" I also noticed at this point that typing anything into the term would result in the line being echoed back to me: fg fg hello hello It's a bit strange. I tried hitting Ctrl-D, and the compile decided to continue again, but I'm guessing this caused some kind of problem anyway.

When I did the process list, it was in the 8:00AM hour. I'll be trying the emerge again tonight to see if that fixes anything, but figured I should put this in the system anyway.

Looks like your disk is full, could you please check if that is the case. Openoffice needs lots of diskspace to compile
Woo, looks like the problem was, indeed, /var filling up. Crazy. Guess 2GB wasn't quite enough, eh? :) Thanks!
