    What exactly is the issue with installing the official
Linux AMD64 Platform rpms for J2SE 5.0 Update 3 on x86_64
FC4? I find that when I execute...

rpm -Uvh jre-1_5_0_03-linux-amd64.rpm

...I get an error of...

error: Failed dependencies:
        java >= 0:1.4 is needed by (installed) jessie-1.0.0-8.noarch
        java-1.4.2-gcj-compat is needed by (installed) openoffice.org-core-1.9.104-2.i386

One issue I see that worries me is that openoffice (a i386 build on the
x86-64 distribution) is requiring java suggesting that it can't use
a x86-64 version for that purpose, no? Thanks in advance for any 
clarifications on this issue.
             Jack
