 Posted: Sat Feb 03, 2007 6:57 pm Post subject: OpenOffice.org Database |
 |
|
Folks,
I'm a total novice where it comes to linux and I'm just starting to find my way around Mandriva 2007. When I installed the o/s OpenOffice was automatically installed and with it the OpenOffice.org Database.
When I go to create my very first database, I get the following message:
OpenOffice.org requires a Java runtinme environment (JRE) to perform this task. Please install a JRE and restart OpenOffice.org. \
I then checked the OpenOffice.org Base screen help which told me to go to the Sun site and download the JRE.
I have downloaded what seemed to be the appropriate package (jre-6-linux-i586-rpm.binjre-6-linux-i586-rpm.bin). However, I'm not sure if it is the correct one and now that I've downloaded it I don't know how to install it so that OpenOffice.org Base will recognise it.
Any help for a complete novice will be gratefully received.

First check your Java settings in OOo: "Tools" > "Options..." > "OpenOffice.org" > "Java". Are there any JREs listed?
- If so, enable one.
- If not, proceed with your downloaded file or check a Mandriva forum on how to install Java on Mandriva 2007.

Which site did you try?

First, go to http://www.java.com.
Second, look for the Link Manual Download.
Third, download your Linux installation file and follow the Instructions near your download button.
