trouble emerging openoffice

[ghostmango]

I'm almost done emerging openoffice but I am now faced with some error messages I can't figure out.
Here is the message:

>>> emerge (1 of 3) dev-java/blackdown-jre-1.4.1 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) j2re-1.4.1-01-linux-i586-gcc3.2.bin

tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

!!! ERROR: dev-java/blackdown-jre-1.4.1 failed.
!!! Fuction src_unpack, Line 49, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)


I'm using root to do this
I also tried doing this after emerge sync but nothing really happened...
please help

Unless one of our Gentoo users can offer assistance, I would suggest you also try the Gentoo forums to see if others have run into the same problem while emerging openoffice.

I'm having the same problem when I emerge Firefox. You can work around the problem by choosing not to install that java package:

USE="-java" emerge openoffice

If you want to use that USE setting for your whole system you can put -java on the USE line in the /etc/make.conf file.

Please let me now how to fix it properly when you know how to do that.

are you using ~x86?

its java that doesn't compile for you -- its a minor glitch...

[daYz]

I am not.

I think I am going to emerge another version of java.

I'd recommend the SunJDK/JRE (whichever it is). Just make sure you follow the instructions on the screen when you go to emerge it.

[daYz]

Why do you recommend that one?
