  Installing LO 4.5 is not easy, because it’s still in the early stages of development.  
I finally found in from the LO Dowloands Page -> Download: Development versions -> Nightly 
Builds:  Access the Nightly builds server here -> Master -> MacOSX-10.10@61/ -> 
2015-02-05 00:36:56 (most recent date) -> *_x86-64.dmg.


  Before installing LO 4.5, I tried 4.3.4.1, 4.3.6.1, and 4.4.0.2, all 
of which failed under OS X 10.10.1.  I started with 4.3.4.1, because that 
version worked for me under Windows 7.  Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me 
under OS X.


The fix for  
"Other: Crash when opening solver" will be included in 4.4.1 and 4.3.7 
(though we'll likely miss 4.3.6).

Re: [libreoffice-users] Solver kills LiberOffice under Mac OS X.10

2015-01-19 Thread Spencer Graves 
Hi, Alex:  


  Thanks for the replies.  


  Before I received your latest, I filed bug 88544.  I’ve received a 
reply asking, “Please specify Java version”, and noting that it “Works for me 
with version 4.3.6.0.0+”.  With my sample problem A1=1, A2=2, A3=(A1-A2)^2 
asking Solver to minimize A3 by varying A1, the tester asked, What is the 
correct result? Lo 4.3.6 and 4.5 give different results.”  Answer:  A2 = 1 (or 
within some tolerance like 1e-8).  


1.  How do I find out (and set) which Java version it’s 
trying to use?  I found LO preferences but not a Java tab.  


2.  How can I get the “Solver for nonlinear programming 
extension” for OS X.10.1, Windows 7 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS?  A search for it 
identified nothing for OS X.  What I found for Ubuntu seemed to want to 
download something else.  I can try the version for Ubuntu again, but I’m 
confused.  


3.  Are there standard instructions for installing multiple 
versions of LO in parallel on OS X?  I’d like to try LO 4.3.4.1, which worked 
for this under Windows 7, and maybe also 4.3.6 and 4.5, which the bug evaluator 
said gave different results.   


  Thanks, 
  Spencer

Hi Spencer,

LibreOffice, reporting, "LibreOffice quit unexpectedly.  Click Reopen to open the

  I get this in an empty spreadsheet and spreadsheets with serious 
optimization problems solved by Solver handily under Windows.


  Suggestions?

File a bug report. When you mention the word Solver under Windows, I
take it you are talking about the integrated solver in LibreOffice, and
not some separate app, or even Excel module ?


I’m trying to use the standard “Solver” on the “Tools” menu in LibreOffice 
Spreadsheet.  It works with LO 4.3.4.1 under Windows 7 on a Fujitsu notebook.  
However, with LO 4.3.5.2 under Windows 7 on an HP Pavilion, when I try to run 
the Solver, I get, “LibreOffice requires a Java runtime envoronment (JRE) to 
perform this task.  Please install a JRE and restart LibreOffice.”  I got that 
same message under OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite.  After I installed the latest JRE, LO 
told me it needed an older version, which I tried to install per its 
instructions.  Then I got the message reported above.
It seems to work fine with LibreOffice 4.4.0.0.alpha2 under Windows 7. 
Not tried very properly.
(But not in my 4.3.5.2 version Windows 7. Same error message as you, 
Spencer, gets).

Thanks for the reply.  I just tried to file a bug report with 
"https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/“ 
, “Bug Submission Assistant”.  I got, 
"The BSA is currently broken. Please use 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED instead.” 
 I just tried to create an account there and am waiting for a confirmation email.  Is that broken 
also?


Thanks,
Spencer
