openoffice install and java JRE on 4.10
Hi Jay, I am quite confused about this diablo jre install. I just tried installing diablo jre 13 from the ports collection, but it tells me to get the file manually from freebsdfoundation. The file it wants me to download is diablo-latte-1.3.1-0.tar.bz2 I had already put a downloaded file into the /usr/ports/distfile directory, but its name was diablo-jre-1.3.1.0.tgz These files seem to have the same version number, but i dont know how to use the one I have. Could I ask you - how did you install the diablo-jre-1.3.1.0.tgz that you downloaded. I mean, what command or whatever did you use ? The same question applies to the OpenOffice 1.1.2 install you did after that. These things dont seem to be in the ports collection, and I dont know if they are considered packages or something different. Thanks for your patience - I am still struggling to come to grips with this environment.

Re: openoffice install and java JRE on 4.10
Peter, JRE is the acronym for Java Runtime Environment. Because java is an interpreted language, a java program needs an interpreter to be able to translate a java program into a machine readable form. Perhaps some of the openoffice.org's functionality were develop using java, maybe that's the reason why it needs a Java Runtime Environment. If you need to know more about Java, try visiting http://sun.java.com Java has already been ported to FreeBSD. You can find one here: http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/DL/28994/DL Download the one that looks like this: diablo-jre-1.3.1.0.tgz At this very moment while I'm sending this to you, I'm still completing the download of openoffice.org-1.1.2. I've already downloaded jre but still haven't tried it yet. Best of luck -jay __ Do you Yahoo!?
