[users] OO can't find JRE
When I attempt to load a JRE on my Macbook(Intel CPU) Mac OSX 10.4.5 OS, OO claims the directory does not contain a valid JRE. When I use a similar directory on my Mac G5 (PowerPC CPU) everything loads fine. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [users] OO can't find JRE
Don, Why are you trying to load a JRE on the MacBook? OS X already comes with a JRE as part of the install. You should not need to install a JRE to run OOo. I got an Intel coreduo miniMac last week and simply downloaded and did the drag and drop installation of the latest OOo for Mac from the porting page. Runs like a champ. The only problems that I have encountered are a permissions problem with working with networked file servers and adding a networked printer. The permissions problem has a work around. The network printer problem also happens on my Dual G5 box with OOo. I have an Apple Personal Laserwriter NTR and it sits on the ethernet network via an ethernet to Appletalk/Localtalk bridge. For some reason, OOo won't let me add it and I can only print to the generic printer, but it works.

Re: [users] OO can't find JRE
I am not trying to INSTALL a JRE. I am trying to get OO to recognize the installed JRE When I go to Options Java there is no JRE there and if I try to use / System/Library/Frameworks... to point to the installed JRE OO says it is not a valid JRE. Pointing to the same locationn on the G5 works fine and in fact OO found it on install. On the macbook it doesnt find a JRE on install On Mar 13, 2006, at 1:28 PM, Ross Bernheim wrote: Don, Why are you trying to load a JRE on the MacBook?

Re: [users] OO can't find JRE
Solved. Was cause by a broken symlink. It finds 1.42 fine now. I installed 1.5 but it broke the Java plugins in Safari and Firefox. Of course the install overwrote the embedded plugin /System/Library/ JavaEmbedded... rather than just adding a new version so now I cant revert. At least OO works now.
