Title: on 4.5rc java breaks on Vortex86mx
Post by: risto3 on April 21, 2012, 05:55:43 PM

quite happy so far with TC 4.5 rc, thanks for tigervnc by the way.
but after trying to install libreoffice, message running said java not installed. funny, saw it in the install log.  tried running /usr/local/java-sun/jre/bin/java -version
no luck, here's the log attached.  help?

You're using Sun's binaries, which we have no control over. You can't even complain to Oracle, as they no longer let distros package the latest Java.

Since Sun had dropped old cpu support, you could try the open* java builds.

In the application installer, I only chose libreoffice-fr.tcz
checking in its dependencies I see effectively sun-jre.tcz
seems like the dependency list should therefore be updated.

trying to install openjdk-6-jre.tcz now... will see how it works.
thanks

[update] seems to work fine now, great!  can't uninstall sun-jre, though, because it remains a dependency for libreoffice-fr.tcz and libreoffice.tcz.

Hi risto3

can't uninstall sun-jre, though, because it remains a dependency for libreoffice-fr.tcz and libreoffice.tcz.

If the dependency is due to  sun-jre.tcz  being listed in the dependency files, and not because libreoffice still relies
on any of the files in  sun-jre.tcz, you can remove it as follows:
1. Rename the libreoffice* files to mylibreoffice*. This is so a check for updates will not try to revert the extensions back.
2. Make the same changes in the two dependency files.
3. Replace  sun-jre.tcz  with  openjdk-6-jre.tcz  in the two dependency files.
That should allow you to uninstall  sun-jre.tcz. You will probably also need to unpack the two libreoffice extensions
and rename the  usr/local/tce.installed/libreoffice  files to  usr/local/tce.installed/mylibreoffice  and then repack them.

I have similar problem:
libreoffice do not work with sun-jdk7 and sun-jre.tcz do not work with sun-jdk7
The only way to use it is dropping sun-jdk7 in favour of sun-jre.
:/
If there is no solution I will try to download the scm, seems the best way

With the scm libreoffice version I can continue to safely use the version of Java 7.
