I was installing a new system, and after finishing the Installation section of the handbook, typed "emerge -UaD portage gnome emacs xmms mozilla-firefox tetex openoffice xscreensaver foldingathome xpdf" This failed, with the error " checking try to compile exception code...

Seems like the dependency on >=virtual/jre-1.4.1 should be >=virtual/jdk-1.4.1 Unless you set FORCE_JAVA=yes you shouldn't be able to merge it with blackdown-jre as your vm. From the ebuild: emerge blackdown-jdk java-config --set-system-vm=blackdown-jdk-<VERSION> env-update source /etc/profile and then merge openoffice
Actually the openoffice ebuild does require the jdk for building. For running it only requires a jre. FORCE_JAVA is only for ensuring that a tested version of java is used. Note however that openoffice does actually build with the jdk's of all vendors (except gcj, which is untested, but might work with some fidling to create wrappers)
Is this still a problem for you or can we close the bug?
Looks like a user setup problem, also no feedback for quite some time, closing
