Hi there,
while evaluating Ubuntu (6.10, very impressive laptop installation,
better than Windows XP for the first time!) I have been experimenting
with OOo on that platform, which seems to be an Ubuntu installation of
OOo, version 2.0.4 ("openoffice.org 2.0.4-0ubuntu4, Wed Dec 20 22:25:13
UTC 2006").
The OOo binaries and DLLs are installed in
"/usr/lib/openoffice/program", whereas the OOo Java classes are
installed in "/usr/share/java/openoffice". Setting the PATH (and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to point to "/usr/lib/openoffice/program" and CLASSPATH to
OOO_jars=/usr/share/java/openoffice
export
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$OOO_jars/jurt.jar:$OOO_jars/unoil.jar:$OOO_jars/ridl.jar:$OOO_jars/juh.jar:$OOO_jars/sandbox.jar
would allow a Java program to start to run, but getting immediately to a
problem in the Bootstrap class which is not able to find the OOo binary:
com.sun.star.comp.helper.BootstrapException: no office executable found!
at com.sun.star.comp.helper.Bootstrap.bootstrap(Bootstrap.java)
at CreateTextDocument.main(CreateTextDocument.java:23)
The installed Java is "Sun Microsystems Inc. 1.5.0_08". [Can take full
advantage of Java from non-OOo programs, so this installation seems to
be o.k.]
"/usr/bin" is on the PATH as well and there is an "/usr/bin/openoffice"
(which links to "/usr/bin/ooo-wrapper").
---
Also, the package manager via OOo (Tools -> Package Manager) does not run.
---
Maybe someone could hint what the problem might be?
Also, is there an official OOo distribution for Debian/Ubuntu (expecting
not to run into such problems with it)? Or is there another possibility
to install the official OOo distribution on Ubuntu/Debian?
TIA,
