Subject: JRE required - OpenOffice 2 (beta)



I installed openoffice rpms from the openoffic.org site. The rpms
contain a program called base. This program requires JRE.

Anyway, I'd like to experiment with this program. I have not ever
installed Java on my linux computer before.

What runtime package is needed and how would you compile and install it
to work with OpenOffice.org? I tried to compile a nosrc package and did
not have much success with my attempts.
(java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.01-1jpp.nosrc.rpm). Is this the correct package
required?

Any leads appreciated.

Get the Linux RPM (self-extracting file) and run it (sh jre-1_5_0_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin). You'll have to deal with the license agreement claptrap and then you'll end up with a Java RPM called jre-1_5_0_01-linux-i586.rpm

rpm -ivh that package and you're done.  No need to compile anything.
