When emerging openoffice I get: checking for patch... /usr/bin/patch checking GPC files... configure: error: GPC files not found !!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully. !!! Function src_compile, Line 59, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message) !!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/app-office/openoffice/openoffice-1.0.0-r2.ebuild . GPC is not the GPC you get if you emerge gpc. (I think the one is general polygon clipping, while the other is gnu pascal compiler).
Same problem here. The configure script is not checking if something is installed on your system, it is just checking if the directory external/gpc in the openoffice tree contains the files gpc.c and gpc.h. If I remember correctly, these files are not included in the original oo tree for some legal reason and must be added manually before building. The oo build document, software requirement section, specifies where to get these files.
Check the ebuild ... gpc is downloaded and installed by the ebuild.
I just did:emerge rsyncemerge openofficeAnd I still get:checking for patch... /usr/bin/patchchecking GPC files... configure: error: GPC files not found!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.!!! Function src_compile, Line 59, Exitcode 1!!! (no error message)!!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/app-office/openoffice/openoffice-1.0.0-r2.ebuild .so somehow even if the gpc is mentioned in the ebuild it still does not compile.Maybe something else is wrong. I have attached the output from the emerge.

It's a newly introduced portage bug: The tar file is not unpacked! See bug nr 5867 and a dozen duplicates of that...
Today's version of portage seems to fix the problem for me.
The unpack problem seems fixed.

It is a portage bug with unpacking .Z files. Please update your portage.
