I installed OO 1.0.3 and it works.  I just told it to ignore the files.  They 
are for KDE and I don't run either.  However, if you run KDE it may be a 
problem <G>.  I think the ebuild is broken - the directories existed and had 
permissions so they could be written to.  

If you don't run KDE you can ignore the errors - if you do that won't help 
<G>!
