It sounds as though you might have a problem with the version of Java that LibreOffice is using. There are lots of versions and brands of Java. I have a program that requires Sun Java 5.0 and won't run with any other. You can install multiple Javas on your computer. If you do there is a command line utility (forget what it's called) that you can use to see what Javas are installed and to set one of them as the default for the computer. In LibreOffice you can go into Preferences > Java and it will show you what Javas are installed on your computer, and which one LibreOffice is set to use. You can change which one LibreOffice uses, which might be worth a shot. LibreOffice also comes with a version of Java (forget which one), but maybe it didn't get installed. And yes, Base definitely requires Java, but so do a lot of Add-Ons, Plug-Ins and Extensions. I once had problems with my OpenOffice and finally tracked it down to the Extension Manager. An extension had been installed twice with the sources from different folders. And speaking of that reminds me that a standard troubleshooting trick is to rename the ~/.LibreOffice folder. This folder is where LibreOffice stores your preferences and installed add-ons. LibreOffice will recreate a brand new default ~/.LibreOffice folder as soon as it is launched, so if the problem is in an add-on this is a good way to clean up the problem. When I had a problem with the Extensions manager I did this, then copied subfolders from my original ~/.LibreOffice folder in order to restore my personal dictionary, Autocorrect lists and templates, and my toolbars and other settings. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
