Please note I take no responsibility if you hose your system.

This is what I did to install it quickly

Code:
mkdir ~/oo3

(Download the tar.gz from openoffice to the oo3 folder in your home directory)
Code:
cd ~/oo3
tar xzvf OOo_3.0.0beta_20080429_LinuxIntel_install_en-US.tar.gz
cd BEA300_m2_native_packed-2_en-US.9301/
mkdir TAR
mkdir EXTRACT
cd RPMS
for i in *; do rpm2tar ${i}; done
mv *.tar ../TAR
cd ../TAR
for i in *; do tar xvf ${i} -C ../EXTRACT


That's it, you can now `cd ~/oo3/BEA300_m2_native_packed-2_en-US.9301/EXTRACT/opt/openoffice.org3/program/`
and execute the binaries (ie `./soffice`)

Someone smarter than me may be able to integrate this better to coexist with oo2, but I just did a path in the mean time:
Open ~/.bashrc with a text editor.
edit or create a line like this:
export PATH=/home/<USERNAME>/oo3/BEA300_m2_native_packed-2_en-US.9301/EXTRACT/opt/openoffice.org3/program/:$PATH
NOTE THE oo3 path comes before :$PATH

then run `source ~/.bashrc`

Now you can run all the apps from terminal, sdraw, swriter, simpress, scalc, etc
I just created an Icon that runs soffice and open the app I need from there.

Note that everything except soffice in oo2 was prefixed with oo (such as oocalc) but in 3 beta it is prefixed with s (such as scalc).
Also note this does not effect mime-types (if you double click and ods file it will still open oo2)




When it comes time to uninstall:

rm -fr ~/oo3
Open .bashrc and return the "export PATH" back to it's original state
source ~/.bashrc

Thanks. After all I decided to do it your way. OOo3b really works fine from rpm. Maybe somebody will make an ebuild for it later, but now it is everything I need. Thank you for your idea and have a nice day :-)

I'd like to make a special request...

When openoffice-bin-3.x is released, can we PLEASE have an option to install the version with BCI enabled for freetype? I really really don't want to compile from source AGAIN.

For some reason, when I attempt to use OpenOffice 3, X completely freezes and uses 100% CPU. Running "soffice" from the console, I get a warning about how it can't find the Java Runtime Environment.

Actually, I think I may have found a bug. I was using RealVNC... so apparently there is a bug between the Xorg VNC module and OpenOffice-3... interesting

I was wondering if anyone is putting together a standard (not binary) ebuild for openoffice 3?

If you are running an amd64 system with any x86 java-VM or you haven't set eselect(?) to work with a proper java-VM that is what you get.
The problem remains since 2.x versions if your problem is what I am suspecting [...]

PS:// Have you checked out your $JAVA_HOME environment?

Sorry for pushing up the old thread, I did not find any newer...

Is there any new information about this? I'd also like to install openoffice 3 from source.

Any update on a source based ebuild? I'm surprised one isn't in portage; big applications like this usually get beta ebuilds.

There's this one at bugzilla- I haven't tried it, but it might work. However, the comments posted don't sound too encouraging, but maybe it could be improved? https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233465

openoffice-bin != source-based

Though the bug title and summary make it seem that it is for openoffice but the actual ebuild there is for openoffice-bin

I was able to build the latest openoffice3 in the tree and it works fine, but it looks very ugly. Anyone know why it's not following my system's gtk2's theme?

Code:
gentoo ~ # paludis -ip openoffice
Building target list...
Building dependency list...

These packages will be installed:

* app-office/openoffice [R 3.0.0_rc1] <target>

Same here. I don't have pam installed too. I already wrote a bug-report for 3.0.0_beta2. And I wrote a new one into the same thread:

Has anyone managed to get spellcheck working on openoffice-bin-3.0.0_rc2?
It doesn't seem to be enabled by default and I can't find an english language extension for it here. There are dictionaries in /usr/lib/openoffice/share/dict/ooo/, but they don't seem to help (they're from a myspell package, which supposedly I can't use with openoffice-bin).
If it matters, it's built with USE="-gnome -java -kde" LINGUAS="en_GB".

I can set the language of the document to English (UK), but it doesn't seem to have a dictionary associated with it.

*subscribes*

I'll also try to compile it in the near future, so it's handy to have some info on problems ...

Same trouble here. I thought it worth bumping since it is pointless to create docs without the ability to spell check.
