openoffice-3.0.0 does not get past the configure stage. I have openGL installed correctly (AFAIK) but the configure fails thus: ... checking GL/gl.h usability... yes checking GL/gl.h presence... yes checking for GL/gl.h... yes checking for main in -lGL... no configure: error: libGL not installed or functional make: *** [stamp/build] Error 1 ... Can anyone tell me what it is checking for? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --sync 2. emerge -u openoffice Actual Results: Configure fails before build starts Expected Results: Compile openoffice
Please post your 'emerge --info' output, and also output of 'eselect opengl list'
Also attach the config.log to this bug report.

Hello, I have the same problem, I get "configure: error: libGL not installed or functional" and fail. I gave build.log and emerge --info to an attachments. Please have a look on it. P.S.: Sorry if I did something wrong, I'm here for the first time.
This seems to be related to nvidia's GLX implementation. You can work around the problem by selecting the xorg opengl before compiling. OpenOffice then compiles fine and you can change back to nvidia's opengl and it works fine. So: eselect opengl set xorg-x11 emerge -u openoffice eselect opengl set nvidia
The workaround in #6 From Graham works for me. However, I won't be able to "go back" to nvidia because I'm using their beta drivers manually installed. Is this a problem with the nvidia drivers, or a problem with openoffice's ./configure?
I had the same problem. #6 did not work for my situation. Probably a driver/driver building isue on my side. On my system I solved it with: Shut X down, rmmod nvidia and run nvidia-uninstaller. This will 'completely' remove the nvidia driver that came directly from the factory website. Now emerge --sync and emerge nvidia-drivers and emerge nvidia-settings. Check your xorg.conf you have: Load "glx" Load the nvidia module and run: eselect opengl set nvidia Now you can start X again and maybe your openoffice _will_ build.
