[K12OSN] OpenOffice Listens to the Users I guess

Wed Apr 11 08:49:04 UTC 2007

I was having difficulty installing using the bin file. (the strace
output is listed at the end.)
I tried putting tail in the same directory as the jmf.bin file. Is
this right, or should it go somewhere else (/usr/share/java/...)

The following method looked promising so I tried it.
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=50506&view=next
Installing using RPMbuild.
After setting up .bashrc /etc/profile I was able to get to the stage
where the webbrowser diagnostic test came up with "All java build.
Native libraries not found."
( I wasn't sure exactly where to put the setenv lines--.bashrc or /etc/profile)

I can run JMediaPlayer (using the fix given in the previous email) but
it won't open mpg movies or mp3 or ogg or wav or anything I try to
open. It is the same with Openoffice Impress. It always says "The
format of the selected file is not supported." I have set the
classpath to the jmf.jar file.

I thought I should try rebuilding the rpm file using the linux
optimized zip file. It said something on the Sun website that the all
java build doesn't support the sound api.

Any suggestions:
Should I try to fix and use the .bin installation method, or should I
try the rpmbuild method rebuilding the file using linux optimized
files?

I appreciate the help. I hope to get this sorted soon.

Thanks.
