16 It seems that we will have to be patient. The various bug reports have
17 been marked resolved or duplicate, but as yet there no sign of an
18 updated STLport in portage - except for the ~arch STLport-5.1.2.
19
20 Bug #172680 indicates that this ~arch version of STLport resolves the
21 OpenOffice compilation problem. However, I am very reluctant to use an
22 ~arch ebuild to compile such a massive (but apparently delicate) ebuild
23 as OpenOffice.
24
25 The patches in bug # 172680 mention an STLport-5.1.0-r1, but it has not
26 yet appeared in portage.
27
28 There is a request # 173175 to stabilise STLport-5.1.2 in bugzilla.
29
30 Oh well, patience is a virtue. Or so they say.
31
32 Cheers, Dave
