I'm installing openoffice-1.1.1-r1 right now. When I first tried to compile,iIdea to put pam into the list of openoffice's dependencies or make it work together with USE="-pam" so it doesn't need these files any more... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure PAM is not installed on your System 2. emerge openoffice 3. Wait a loooong time Actual Results: There were many gcc-errors about missing pam-declarations... Expected Results: Installing Open Office By the way: I did the emerge system by hand, not installing dhcpd and pam, so that's the reason why there is no pam installed on my machine...

Huh, it seems i overwrote my own text in my first post. The 2nd Line schould be the following: When I first tried to compile,i did not have pam installed on my system. emerge openoffice quit with some errors about missing pam function declarations and similar stuff. After installing PAM, it compiled - and it still compiles - without any Problems. I think it would be a good idea to put pam into the list of openoffice's dependencies or make it work together with USE="-pam" so it doesn't need these files any more...
Thanks for reporting this. I guess that most people work with pam so no-one reported it before. I don't think it is worthwhile to make it work without pam so I guess we'll add it to the dependencies
added pam to the dependencies, thanks for reporting!
Sorry, but is there _really_ any reason for openoffice-1.1.x to have pam-* among its compulsory dependencies? I wouldn't want to use pam-* (therefore I've already removed it), but I can't emerge new versions of openoffice without it, e.g. openoffice-1.1.3-r1 (I've tried also package.provided without success) Previously I had installed openoffice-1.1.3 with pam, then I've unmerged pam and BTW OO seems working well: seems to me that pam is needed only for "compiling" but not for "using" OO, doesn't it? I would prefer a "pam/-pam" USE flag. Maybe should I have to file an enhancement/minor bug on this topic or should it to be reopened?
