Livio, Here is how I managed to get sound to work for me on an Ubuntu machine. You can modify accordingly for your openSUSE. Note: I had thought that openSUSE used gstreamer so it shouldn't be necessary for you to install JMF - check to see if you have gstreamer installed first. You can also use the go-oo version instead if you'd like, see: http://go-oo.org/discover/ http://go-oo.org/download/ OpenSUSE Stable: SLED10, 10.1, 10.2 Anyway, here are my instructions for JMF on an Ubuntu system: For those of you that use the standard OOo vs the Ubuntu'ized OOo, here is how I *finally* managed to get sound working in my OOo version 2.2.1 and 2.3 Impress presentations [1]: 1. Downloaded the JMF bin file from: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/download.html Followed the instructions on that page: <quote> If you are installing the JMF Performance Pack for Linux * Change directories to the install location. * Run the command % /bin/sh ./jmf-2_1_1e-linux-i586.bin </quote> by moving the jmf-2_1_1e-linux-i586.bin file to my /opt directory using Nautilus in root mode ($ gksu nautilus) - command line cp will work just as well. 2. From a terminal: $ cd /opt $ sudo /bin/sh ./jmf-2_1_1e-linux-i586.bin Accepted/yes to all except the last where it recommends that you enter "no" on the last question. That creates the /opt/JMF-2.1.1e folder/directory $ export JMFHOME=/opt/JMF-2.1.1e $ export CLASSPATH=$JMFHOME/lib/jmf.jar::$JMFHOME/lib/sound.jar:.:${CLASSPATH} $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$JMFHOME/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} 3. Opened OOo: Tools/Options/Java/Class Path, click on 'Add Archive' & _browse_ to: /opt/JMF-2.1.1e/lib and click on jmf.jar - click OK. Repeat step 3 for StarOffice 8. Sound now works in both standard OOo and StarOffice 8! :-) Man... I've been fighting with this for nearly a year now. The problem that I had in the past is that I neglected to click on the *jmf.jar* file and was only adding the /opt/JMF-2.1.1e/lib path. [1] The Ubuntu'ized OOo from the repos has sound working by default using gstreamer - standard OOo and StarOffice 8 do not, so JMF is required. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
