I don't use OO.o as I don't need it, and don't have a Java installed as none of the options Gentoo provides for that are freedomware and I don't need it enough to bother researching it further. However, from what I've read about it, you've done everything right in general but for one thing related specifically to OO.o on amd64. Because the OO.o build is 32-bit binary, it apparently looks for a 32-bit Java version, and doesn't see the 64-bit version. I've seen the solution posted here in the past but don't recall exactly what it was. I'm guessing it either involved a symlink placed appropriately so OO.o could find and use the 64-bit version, or installation of a 32-bit version. Hopefully someone will reply with more details, but that'll head you in the right direction anyway, I believe. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
