Re: [MLUG] OpenOffice won't run in Gentoo after update

[Matt Klaric <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

This is in the Gentoo documentation.  An upgrade of gcc and glibc will
break many things--not only OpenOffice, although that may be the only
thing you've noticed so far.  

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml

Follow the directions in Section 2.  In short, you need to re-emerge
everything to ensure consistency.  You *might* be able to get away with
only re-emerging a program here and there, but I wouldn't put any money
on stability if you go that route.  

Happy
