Getting OpenOffice.org apps to start

[Patrick Lists]

Hi,

Iirc there were some reports that OO.org apps would not start. On an
updated box I tried running Writer. It did nothing. Output of ps ax
shows that it hangs on:

/usr/bin/gij -classpath /usr/lib/openoffice.org/program JREProperties

If I kill that process then Writer suddenly appears. Hope this helps.

Regards,
Patrick

Alternatively you could update to the oo.org in rawhide (just do the updates 
that pup tells you about) and it will work too.

I was unaware of this (because this only occurs on first time detection
of java) but copying the JREProperties.class to a FC-6 machine and
running gij JREProperties exits normally, while on rawhide it hangs. So
logged as rhbz#226959 against libgcj.

FYI: the hang no longer occurs after updating to the new OO.org rpms in
rawhide (version 2.2.0-4.3).
