Alright, thanks for all the help so far. To answer your questions, I'm using openSuse 11.2, on a fairly new dual core laptop. Um...about the dependencies...I went to the repository for openSuse and installed both build and bootstrap, but I'm not quite sure that was the right thing to do, which brings up another question. On the linux build dependencies page, it lists a command that I should use, but <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px; white-space: pre; ">sudo zypper si -d OpenOffice_org-bootstrap # for OpenSUSE, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; line-height: normal; white-space: normal; font-size: small; ">but I recieve an error about how the OpenOffice_org-bootstrap doesn't exist.</span></span><div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px; white-space: pre; "><br></span></div><div>I did try removing the <a href="http://unxlngi.pro">unxlngi.pro</a>, and rebuilding, but that didn't solve the problem. So, as far as I can tell, the problem is with this line of code: PR_STATIC_ASSERT(sizeof(size_t) <= 4); in function SECStatus RNG_RandomUpdate(const void *data, size_t bytes) Apparently, the "size of array arg is negative", although I have no idea what's going on. I tried using the code search on opengrok, but it said that PR_STATIC_ASSERT didn't exist, so I'm fairly lost, so it probably is a git problem.</div>

</div> Your questions seem sensible, and welcome to open-source (or Free<br>

</div> Ah - then - perhaps this can be your 1st contribution :-) We used to<br>
use bin/g with the 'build' build method, but now we have the 'bootstrap'<br>
build method, it should be replaced thus:<br>
<br>
bin/g -> g<br>
<br>
ie. it is in the top-level directory now.<br>

<br>
</div> Nasty ! I've seen that myself in the past; and chased it into the long<br>
grass for a while; but I forget what fixed it. Apparently it compiles ok<br>
for me now.<br>
<br>
More details wrt. your distribution, and so on would probably be most<br>
helpful. How did you install the pre-requisite packages ?<br>
<br>
Anyhow - worth a try deleting the output and re-buiding it (cf. the rm<br>
command at the end of the build failure message) , but I'm not that<br>
optimistic; can you get on IRC so we can dig into it more ? #libreoffice<br>
