There is this in the Openoffice ebuild |
| 16 |
# Check if we have enough RAM and free diskspace to build this beast |
| 17 |
CHECKREQS_MEMORY="512" |
| 18 |
use debug && CHECKREQS_DISK_BUILD="8192" || CHECKREQS_DISK_BUILD="5120" |
| 19 |
check_reqs |
| 20 |

I have one observation and one doubt |
| 22 |
Observation: more packages should have warnings against this. GCC 4.3 |
| 23 |
needs more than 1.5GiB of disk space to build, at least with the USE |
| 24 |
flags fortran gcj gtk mudflap openmp. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Doubt: don't you have enough swap? Does Openoffice need so much memory |
| 27 |
that even with swap it failed? |
