Hi, I missed the most posts of the thread so let me say those few words. First of all I use Java or OpenOffice.org from producers' websites. They are always "fresh" and installable in RHEL. I assume too, that the i386 and amd64 versions work the same way, only the lib names can be different. Thirdly, I cannot say now what method I used lately but either of them worked flawlessly. I installed Scientific Linux (CentOS) several times without any snags. So, 1. The latest Java is attached to the latest OpenOffice.org RPMs. http://download.openoffice.org/other.html 2. Java RPM can be downloaded from Oracle page: http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=www.java.com test Java: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml Java directory with Java libs and plugins: /usr/java/jre1.6.0_21/lib/amd64 I use to place OpenOffice.org in /opt directory. Java is installed here: /opt/openoffice.org/ure It must be working as it always worked here. ;-) Best regards, PrzemysÅaw PaweÅczyk -- >>> Please do NOT Cc me on Mailing Lists <<< PrzemysÅaw PaweÅczyk (P2O2) [pron.
