OpenOffice/StarOffice not finding java runtime environment?

[Steve Scrimpshire]

Why don't these two find the JRE that I have installed? I grabbed the latest JRE from Sun and installed it and followed DOlson's tutorial to get everything to recognize it's existence. I even used the 'Browse' function to locate JRE when it didn't find it. What file exactly is it looking for?

 

[Edit]: I had Sun's JRE installed before I installed OpenOffice and StarOffice....tried them both.

Strangely enough, I never had a single problem with Java. I am not sure if I did something during my installation by chance.

 

Sorry I can't be of any help...

I don't know if that's the answer, but here is the file /etc/java/java.conf that I wrote. I source it into my environment before any session, including before installing OOo:

#!/bin/bash



export JAVAPATH=/usr/local/java

export JAVACMD=$JAVAPATH/bin/java

export JDK_HOME=$JAVAPATH

export JAVA_HOME=$JAVAPATH

if [ -z "`echo $PATH | grep -F $JAVAPATH/bin`" ]; then

 export PATH=$PATH:$JAVAPATH/bin

fi

if [ -z "$LANG" ]; then

 export LANG=fr

 export LANGUAGE=fr_FR:fr

 export LC_TIME=fr_FR@euro

 export LC_CTYPE=fr_FR@euro

 export LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR@euro

 export LC_COLLATE=fr_FR@euro

 export LC_MONETARY=fr_FR@euro

 export LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR@euro

fi

Adapt it to your situation, and see if that helps...

Thanks, Yves. That didin't work, though. It still says that it can't find a Java Runtime Environment usable by it. Still the exact problem.

Spoke too soon. I went into ~/OpenOffice.org1.0.2/program/ and ran jvmsetup and it found it. Is there a similar script to run for StarOffice?

 

TIA

[Steve Scrimpshire]

I found the jvmsetup for StarOffice, but it didn't work like the one for OO.o.

sorry to go a little off topic, but what does enabling java in oo do? i mean, what does oo do with java that it normally wouldn't do?
