I'm trying to create a database in Open Office, which of course on ~amd64 is the binary version. When I tell it to create a new database it tells me it can't find a JRE, and please to restart OOo after installing one. So I go to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/java.xml and follow the instructions to install virtual/jre. That installs several things, including dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0.08, but not a JRE. So I install dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.08-r1 as well and try OOo again, with the same result. So next I run java-config to set the VM first to the JDK and then to the JRE, but still OOo can't find a JRE.
Each re-installation of JRE or JDK ends with an error: -- !!! Error: Expected "/usr/share/java-config-2/nsplugin/sun-jdk-1.5-javaplugin.so" to exist, but it doesn't. !!! Error: Perhaps "sun-jdk-1.5" isn't a valid name of VM built with nsplugin? -- Creating /usr/share/java-config-2/nsplugin/ manually doesn't help either. What am I doing wrong? -- Rgds Peter -- [email protected] mailing list
