You have a bad install - or system issues - or both. You are likely to also run into that error in your (U)2.4.1 install if any indication of the launchpad bug reports & others are any indication, see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/149489 [Stream of JRE errors when going to "Macros" tab in frame properties] <http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg13320.html> [openoffice.org-core: sunjavaplugin.so attempts to use libgcj.so.6, which doesn't exist] http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=10685 [Can't start oo3 on linux] <http://www.google.com/search?complete=0&hl=en&q=openoffice+%2B%22sunjavaplugin.so+could+not+load+Java+runtime+library%22> I recommend that you uninstall OOo 3.0 from Synaptic - search for 'ooo' and mark all 3.0.0-9 files for _complete removal_, then apply. Hint: if you click the 'S' ('S' Blank Package) column, Synaptic will sort the packages by installed vs not installed - making it easier to see which are installed. Then delete the /opt/openoffice.org, /opt/openoffice.org3 and ~/.openoffice.org/3/user folders. Then from a terminal: sudo apt-get install --reinstall openoffice.org openoffice.org-java-common sudo apt-get install --reinstall sun-java6-jre [mind the wrap - first one is all one line] Those hopefully will fix your exisiting (U)OOo & java JRE. Then reinstall OOo 3.0. Note the install output from the 'sudo -i dpkg *.deb' command. If you get _any_ errors please post. Afterwards, don't set up any links/menu items to OOo 3.0 just yet, first try: /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice to initialize. Set your java (Tools|Options|OpenOffice.org|Java), close OOo and reopen. That should work & if so then go ahead and try from the menu that you created (be sure to include the full link in your menu item). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
