Hi lux-inetg, This is just a suggestion. Try using OpenJDK (http://openjdk.java.net) which will allow you to build java and then try compiling OOo3. On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 3:55 PM, lux-integ wrote: > Greetings, > > > I am attempting to compile openoffice-3.0.1  The box runs clfs 64Bit -amd64 >

Yeppie, the Xorg-7.3 is working now. I just changed the XORG_PREFIX from /usr to /usr/X11. Everything is working now. Its a mystery. As per the instruction in CBLFS, "most of the distribution are using /usr as XORG_PREFIX". How do they do it? Next stop, KDE4. Thanks again. -- Jignesh D. Ganga
