seems to be a ccache problem turn it off, then try again
I had the same problem. After turning ccache _and_ distcc off, it passed the test.

zwelch: how to disable distcc and ccache in ebuilds ?
This problem is a bug in the ebuild for 1.0.3 and how it detects whether ccache is there or not. Look at the code for this in the 1.0.2-r2 ebuild: # Enable ccache for this build (Az) if [ "${FEATURES/-ccache/}" = "${FEATURES}" -a \ "${FEATURES/ccache/}" != "${FEATURES}" -a \ -d /usr/bin/ccache -a -x /usr/bin/ccache/ccache ] Now look at the code for 1.0.3: # Enable ccache for this build (Az) if [ "${FEATURES/-ccache/}" = "${FEATURES}" -a \ "${FEATURES/ccache/}" != "${FEATURES}" -a \ -x /usr/bin/ccache ] I took that last line (beginning with -d) from the 1.0.2 ebuild and replaced the line beginning with -x in 1.0.3 and it seems to work.
I should note that I do not have ccache installed, so it isn't a matter of disabling anything. And no matter what I set FEATURES to in make.conf, emerge --info always shows ccache in there. That is somewhat disturbing.
the reason the -d line works is becuase it turns off ccache... if you check where ccache is its in /usr/bin/ccache.. there ain't no /usr/bin/ccache/ccache...so making it 'work' is turning off ccache...why don't you turn ccache off in your features FEATURES="-ccache -distcc" emerge openoffice
can i get the output of which ccache
this should be fixed... whether or not your build uses ccache or distcc depends on what version you have installed...i reccomend the latest version of both =) seth
What about not having ccache installed at all?
for it to break you obviously had a /usr/bin/ccache directory or file or it would never have gotten past the test...
Yes I do have a /usr/bin/ccache directory but I don't have ccache emerged.
well then your problem is solved... i added an extra check
Just to inform: It seems to work, it passes the ccache (hopefully it will compile all the way ;) )
Well....I'd say the bug is still present (not resolved) for I still get this error: checking whether the C compiler (distcc /usr/bin/ccache gcc -O2 -mcpu=pentium4 -march=pentium4 -pipe -DTT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. Okay...so I do have distcc and ccache enabled...if this isn't good for OpenOffice...then why doesn't the ebuild disable the feature (now that would be very unfortunate....) Also, I noticed the following inconsistancy in the 1.0.3 ebuild : # Enable distcc for this build (Az) if [ "${FEATURES/-distcc/}" = "${FEATURES}" -a \ "${FEATURES/distcc/}" != "${FEATURES}" -a \ -f /usr/bin/ccache -a -x /usr/bin/distcc ] Notice that last line.... shouldn't that ccache be distcc?!... Oh...and I did change it for distcc...not much more success.... :(
Why is this closed as "RESOLVED/FIXED"? There's no apparent resolution/fix. I want to use ccache and/or distcc. If that doesn't work, then why is it enabled? Is there something that must be done to one's setup to make it work right?

frankly i'm considering removing distcc support, b/c atm its unusable... if you DO use it, the build will (very likely) segfault)
OK, boy, in re-reading my posting, I seemed a bit hot under the collar. Sorry. No one has died because OpenOffice fails to build for someone. You guys are doing heroic work. But, I have fixed this issue with my own setup so that at least the compile can continue. How? Upgrading to the latest distcc on both client and server to 2.0.1. I did do an emerge -C distcc, first, as well, and also did an emerge -C ccache && emerge ccache for good measure. Now, I have the disappearing "program" directory issue, but that's another bug report...
Change in my report - actually, I didn't upgrade the distcc server, yet. It's still at 1.2.3-r3 - we'll see if my build has problems. If it does, I'll upgrade that, too.
i'm not gettin on you about bein annoyed...i'm simply stating a truth...distcc doesn't work with more than one process...the build WILL segfault =)
*** Bug 20945 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I had essentially the same problem with openoffice-1.1.0. I don't have either distcc or ccache installed, and openoffice tried to use ccache (specifically, /usr/bin/ccache gcc, even though /usr/bin/ccache is a directory). The fix was to add "-ccache -distcc" to the FEATURES in my make.conf. However, I think the ebuild is broken; this shouldn't be necessary.
