9 Tried your file in OO.o 3.2.1. Let me get you my USE flags for
10 reference: "cups dbus gstreamer gtk java ldap nsplugin opengl* pam
11 (-aqua) -bash-completion* -binfilter -debug -eds -gnome -kde
12 (-kdeenablefinal) -odk -templates"
13
14 I hope that's cool for you. So I didn't build it with opengl, but I
15 did with bash-completion, and I changed make.conf since.
16
17 Anyway, if you ask me, libreoffice is still in the works in terms of
18 the ebuild. I don't want to toot my own horn, but see
19 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=295268 which very well
20 indicates that the libreoffice ebuild was not derived from, nor
21 seriously considering past problems encountered by, the openoffice
22 ebuild. IMO I'd hash it to a libreoffice problem, since I can open
23 your document over here.
24
25 Don't get me wrong, I'll be more than happy to switch to libreoffice,
26 but I'm not convinced, at the very least, that the Gentoo team has it
27 squared away yet. No blame there, it's just as easily an upstream
28 problem.

30 But I really doubt it's a USE flag...
