Re: installing OpenOffice

[Malte Timmermann <Malte Timmermann sun com>]

Hi,

OpenOffice Setup searches for certain Java versions in some standard 
directories, with standard names,
/usr/Java/j2re1.4.1, ...

I am not sure if the beta2 already searches for 1.4.2 or later versions.

In this case setting JAVA_HOME should work for you.

If not, please come back on me.

Malte.
