JMF is so old that it's install script doesn't work on Ubuntu Hardy versions and above. You need to manually modify the script in gvim (or similar) in order to get it to install properly: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/104511 Edit the installer script and change: tail +309 $0 > $outname to: tail --lines=+309 $0 > $outname That works. So, for Keith/others: you'll need to modify before you can even install. Once you do get it installed, these archived msgs will help you get the rest of it working on Ubuntu (including mp3): http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=165888 and for mp3: http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=168915 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
