Gentoo and LibreOffice 3.4

Updated my Gentoo systems to LibreOffice 3.4 and none of the components would start:

Could not launch 'LibreOffice 3.4 [fill in component]'

Failed to execute child process
"libreoffice3.4" (No such file or directory)

Looks like a Gentoo error. The desktop commands are installed (math as an example):

libreoffice3.4 --math %U

when it should be:

libreoffice --math %U

Gentoo python 3.x error ...

I received an error compiling docutils and it is caused by python 3.x:

(File "/usr/lib/python3.1/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode ...)

A work around:

# mkdir -p /etc/portage/env/dev-python/
# echo "export LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8" > /etc/portage/env/app-portage/docutils

Compiled correctly afterwards.
