Re: [K12OSN] upgrade openoffice

2007/11/29 James P. Kinney III <jkinney localnetsolutions com >:

Mel,

I'm assuming you are trying to install a _real_ Sun java in order to
make OpenOffice work better.

If so, try using rpm -ivh instead of -Uvh. There are a blasted number of
things that are clearly dependencies and upgrading the java from the
RedHat blessed version (of moderate junk that really doesn't work right
yet) to the real Sun java will try and replace the core and cause the
errors.

Note: there is a c++-compat lib (I think) that you will need to install
Sun java from an rpm.
