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.
