- 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.
Comment 6 Olaf Felka 2010-09-14 19:21:05 UTC
Looks like this is a 6 bit Java which isn't supported by OOo which is 32 bit.
Comment 7 cparra 2010-09-14 19:26:06 UTC
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. 
Comment 8 joachim.lingner 2010-09-15 06:13:06 UTC
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
