Hi,

I'm having problems emerging the latest openoffice.org from portage,
it dies with the messages:


* Checking the platform pre-requisites. *
* *
************************************************** ******************
checking for gawk... gawk
checking for gawk... /bin/gawk
checking for sed... /bin/sed
checking the operating system... checked (Linux)
checking for gcc... /usr/bin/ccache gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

!!! ERROR: app-office/openoffice-1.1.0 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 379, Exitcode 77
!!! (no error message)

The config.log seems to have disapeared (locate config.log).
I never had this error before, last time it needed the path to the java runtime, but then compiled fine.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance,
Thomas

man locate
man updatedb

find /var/tmp/portage -name config.log

I experienced something similar to this before, on our spam server here
at the office. Attempting to compile lftp (I believe) would yield (the
same / a similar) error about the compiler not being able to create an
executable. I believe that I solved this simply by updating system and
world. If I recall, this fixed it. I hope this helps, a bit more than
the other post listed here.

I presume that you simply listed a brievitized form of your locate
strategy. If you truly care to find that config.log, and are having
difficulty;

updatedb && locate config.log

* app-office/openoffice-bin
Latest version available: 1.0.2

I'm emerging OO.org because I want the newest version, I already had a succesfully installed openoffice 1.0.x on my system.

(I new I had to run updatedb btw...)
I can't make up a reason why the build stopped from the config.log file. (but I'm not realy in to programming/make,...)
The problem doesn't go away by rebooting.

Found the answer to my own question.
emerge ccache
It got me past that error
