While trying to emerge openoffice-ximian, I get this: [...] checking for dmake... no checking which zlib to use... external checking for zlib.h... configure: error: zlib not found. install zlib But I have zlib installed, and zlib.h is inside /usr/include. Anything I can test? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Please provide the output of "emerge info". Also you could try to remove zlib and remerge it, then try again to emerge openoffice-ximian and see if that helps. Most likely this is some old cruft lying around on your harddisk. btw: Which version of zlib do you have installed?

Then emerged openoffice-ximian newly, but no luck. Latest version installed: 1.2.1-r3
This problem is most probably due to the -fvisibility-inlines-hidden CXXFLAGS, which can not be recognized by gcc 3.3.x. I know because I wasted half a day and finally trace down this stupid little mistake from config.log :)
I still cannot believe this was the problem, seriously. I'll close the bug right now. Thanks a lot!!
