Mmmh. LibreOffice 3.4.x requires 1 GB of RAM, all other versions in portage requires only 512 MB (including 3.5.x). Are you sure it is your RAM the problem, or maybe you have /var/tmp (and therefore /var/tmp/portage) in tmpfs? If that's the case, what I do is: 1. add the following line to /etc/portage/package.env: app-office/libreoffice notmpfs.conf 2. have the file /etc/portage/env/notmpfs.conf with the following: # cat /etc/portage/env/notmpfs.conf PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/notmpfs" 3. have the directory /var/notmpfs: drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 4096 Feb 1 20:47 notmpfs This way, all my packages get compiled in the tmpfs (and therefore much faster, since it is memory), and libreoffice (which is to big to fit in there) gets compiled on disk. Hope it helps. Regards. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Posgrado en Ciencia e Ingeniería de la Computación Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
