Finding JVM in OpenOffice.org

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have several machines with FC4, as updated, OOo and Java on
them. Two, dragon and taltos, are set up almost identically. On
dragon, OOo cannot find a jvm.

I have...

  deleted
  ~/.openoffice.org2.0/user/config/javasettings_Linux_x86.xml. OOo
  simply rebuilds the file, and cannot find a JVM.

  Uninstalled both OOo and all java packages, then re-installed
  OOo. That should handle all dependencies. No go.

  Manually pointed OOo to /usr. No go.

What is OOo looking for, so that I can find out what is missing?

Neither machine has $JAVA_HOME set.

Packages on the deficient machine:

[root@dragon rpms]# pre \\\(gcj\\\|openoffice\\\) | sort
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp_31rh.FC4.2
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-devel-1.4.2.0-40jpp_31rh.FC4.2
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-src-1.4.2.0-40jpp_31rh.FC4.2
libgcj-4.0.2-8.fc4
libgcj-devel-4.0.2-8.fc4
libgcj-src-4.0.2-8.fc4
openoffice.org-calc-2.0.1.1-5.1

openoffice.org-draw-2.0.1.1-5.1
openoffice.org-impress-2.0.1.1-5.1
openoffice.org-writer-2.0.1.1-5.1

Packages on the known good machine:

[root@taltos ~]#  pre \\\(gcj\\\|openoffice\\\) | sort
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp_31rh.FC4.2
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-devel-1.4.2.0-40jpp_31rh.FC4.2
libgcj-4.0.2-8.fc4
libgcj-devel-4.0.2-8.fc4
openoffice.org-calc-2.0.1.1-4.1
openoffice.org-core-2.0.1.1-4.1
openoffice.org-draw-2.0.1.1-4.1
openoffice.org-impress-2.0.1.1-4.1
openoffice.org-writer-2.0.1.1-4.1
openoffice.org-xsltfilter-2.0.1.1-4.1

I believe alternatives is set up correctly.

[root@dragon rpms]# alternatives --display java
java - status is auto.
 link currently points to /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java - priority 1420

 slave jre_exports: /usr/lib/jvm-exports/jre-1.4.2-gcj

Current `best' version is /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java.

and

[root@taltos ~]# alternatives --display java

In the process of researching this problem, I read this bug:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=43103. It has attached
a program, Props, which produced this output:
