Install OpenOffice 1.9.100 in Gentoo

Hi
today my venture is to install Openoffice in Gentoo.

preferBLY i would like precompiled binaries to install (quicker)
I started with openoffice linux install (RPM files)
I ran rpm2targz and got a number of tar files but core05 file fails to extract some files
file does not exist error

(I used to use Mandrake and these RPMS are the same ones i used so they work.)

I'm downloading latest source code but historically i have lots of trouble fixing oo dependencies for compiling

unless
is there a way to get emerg to install Openoffice 1.9.x from source?

nope no Open Office later than 1.1.4 in my gentoo source tree
according to Porthole anyways (Gui Front end to portage that displays versions available etc)

you could try looking on the gentoo website and see if its there.
