- Is there a java on the system? - What extension can't be installed? If an extension needs Java and there is no Java it can't be installed.
Looks like this is a 6 bit Java which isn't supported by OOo which is 32 bit.
Yes, there is java in the system: $ java -version java version "1.6.0_21" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b07-288-10M3222) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0-b17-288, mixed mode) $ echo $JAVA_HOME /Library/Java/Home When trying to add this path (that is actually a link to "/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/") OpenOffice says that there is no JRE there Extension that I have tried to install are the following: http://ooolatex.sourceforge.net/ http://writer2latex.sourceforge.net/ However, my original statement that "no extension can be installed" is wrong. Only those needing of the JRE.
OF is right, OOo is build for a "32 bit" platform. It also runs on 64 bit, but it still requires a 32 bit Java. Therefore the 64 bit Java does not work.
Closed as invalid
