Sorry, I missed that you are still using 7.04 - which by the way is no longer supported, so you really should consider upgrading to 7.10 and then to 8.04. > Wouldn't it be possible to simply set a link to this jre in > /opt/openoffice.org3/program, > or somehow making the newly installed ooo3.0 aware of the existing sun jre ? The installed OOo 3.0 will pick you the existing jre via Tools|Options|OpenOffice...|Java. However, your install location for 07 indicates to me that you did not install from Synaptic as: 1) jre for feisty (7.04) is only at 02, and 2) system-wide jre should be located in the /usr/lib/jvm http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=names&keywords=sun-java6-jre If you want to install 07 or 10, you should put it in /usr/lib/jvm and then use a simple gui tool to set the links: sudo apt-get galternatives then kdesu galternatives (I think that's the equivalent of gksu) See: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/galternatives - it should work in kubuntu also. You can then easily set your java links to the new install. You can also try galternatives to modify to point to your exisiting install location as well & if that doesn't work, then reinstall in /usr/lib/jvm. >> 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.

The last one will only reinstall 02 as there is no 07 in 7.04. It won't disturb your existing /user/local/jre1.6.0_07 but see above regarding this jre install. > > If I must sacrifice my 2.2.0 just to try out 3.0.0, I'd rather demur. No. Your OOo 2.2.0 should be just fine. As a precaution, and you should do this anyway, make a backup of your exisiting ~/.openoffice.org2 directory before you do anything. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
