[Solved] Open Office won't detect Java

[panorack]

Read this post with interest as I have just installed Ubuntu 8.04 and I have the same problem with OOo Base not seeing Java RTE.

In Tools-Options-OOo-Java, the 'Use Java RTE' box is checked and it shows 1.6.0_06 installed and points to the correct directory where this is. I have tried 'apt-get remove --purge' to completely remove OOo-base with config files and then 'apt-get install openoffice.org' to install the full package as suggested but OOo base still tells me that there is no JRE installed despite a check that 'Tools-Options...' still shows it.

Any suggestions anyone?? (I did not remove the other OOo packages that came with 8.04 before installing the full package. Would this have made any difference?)

I've split the thread where you had posted since that problem has been solved.
