Hello,

I'm trying to install Open Office and during the installation, I got the following error message:

[root@localhost RPMS]# rpm -Uvh *rpm

So doe's this mean that I have to compile the Java that came with Fedora 5? If so, I assume Yum is the way to do this, and if so, what version of Java comes with Fedora 5. I used the command:

yum install java-1.4.2-gci-compat

but it seems as if it didn't do anything.

Any help?
