Did the compiler segfault? If it did then it sounds more like a |
| 12 |
toolchain/kernel problem than an openoffice problem. |

You shouldn't have to do anything special, but openoffice is a bit of a |
| 21 |
bitch to compile (mostly due to the amount of time it takes though). The |
| 22 |
openoffice-bin package is a bit old on ppc, it's based on an RPM. You |
| 23 |
can (usually) grab a binary package of openoffice (built on Gentoo) from |
| 24 |
my dev page, http://dev.gentoo.org/~dholm/ppc.html |

Did you solve your DMA issues? |
