Description Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk 2005-04-29 22:33:39 UTC 
Description of problem:
I did a Rawhide "workstation" install 29. April 2005, and wanted to see the new
OpenOffice. Looked great (but where did that left vertical bar go? I loved that
thing!), but starting base revealed a serious problem - it needed a JRE (no
suprise) that was not installed (suprise).

On startup it spewed out an error:
javaldx: could not find a Java runtime enviroment!

It runs, but after you create a new database the program periodically spews out:
OpenOffice requires a JRE (...) Please install a JRE (...)
And it is a bit dysfunctional.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openoffice.org-*-1.9.96-2

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start openOffice
2.Watch the error messages
3.
  
Actual results:
JRE dep is lacking. 

Expected results:
Should have a JRE dep, as it needs it...

Additional info:
It seems like this is also hurting startup time, as it runs a prosess called
"gij" (and later, javadlx) for a long time before actually starting.
Comment 1 Caolan McNamara 2005-05-03 07:26:30 UTC 
> rpm -qRp openoffice.org-core-1.9.96-2.i386.rpm | grep gcj
libgcj >= 4.0.0
libgcj.so.6
This should be sufficient to require gcj/gij which should be sufficient to
replace java. Clearly something is not working, works for me of course so
perhaps there is an extra requirement.
Comment 2 Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk 2005-05-03 16:03:33 UTC 
I did a clean rawhide install april the 30th - downloaded the entire rawhide
three from ftp.nluug.nl. Still have the copy if you want a ls -lR of it.

Installed a standard workstation install from the text-mode installer, selected
no  installer language and keyboard.

Maybe this is really an anaconda bug that should be seen together with OO bug
nr. 156423?

Anyway it does seem that i have libgcj-4.0.0-2 installed...
Comment 3 Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk 2005-05-05 22:06:39 UTC 
Is there anything i should try to yum in, just to test? Anything? This is a
testing rig, so just tell me what to do, reinstall if neccessary.
Comment 4 Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk 2005-05-05 22:31:33 UTC 
BTW. openoffice-*-1.9.100-1 doesn't fix this.
Comment 5 Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk 2005-05-06 09:39:26 UTC 
I did a "yum install eclipse", which pulled theese rpms:

After that, the problem went away. So some of the rpms mentioned here is needed :)
Comment 6 Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk 2005-05-11 20:08:33 UTC 
Still a problem on FC4-t3. Installation type "personal desktop".

This should definatly be fixed before fc4 final is released to the open -
FC4Target or FC4Blocker?
Comment 7 Warren Togami 2005-05-11 20:16:19 UTC 
EasyFix that we should do, but find the exact req's.
Comment 8 Per Bjornsson 2005-05-11 20:37:35 UTC 
One simple possibility might be that OOo migth depend on the specific paths etc.
Isn't java-1.4.2-gcj-compat the package that should fix that? Kyrre, since you
seem to have a broken system available, perhaps you can install just that
package additionally and see if it works?
Comment 9 Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk 2005-05-11 21:48:40 UTC 
yup, that solved it. Note that java-1.4.2-gcj-compat brougth in a whole lot of
deps. Btw. - why "compat"?

Comment 10 Warren Togami 2005-05-11 22:00:09 UTC 
If possible we really need to avoid cases where a normal user installation
requires *-devel or compilers to be installed.  Find the *exact* deps necessary.
Comment 11 Hans de Goede 2005-05-12 06:06:24 UTC 
I have seen this bug too, esp the startup delay is annoying. Couldn't it be that
the exact dep is java-1.4.2-gcj-compat, this provides jre / jdk mimicking
scripts. Maybe java-1.4.2-gcj-compat should be split in a jre and jdk part (or
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat and java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-devel)?
Comment 12 Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk 2005-05-12 13:41:45 UTC 
To me "*-devel" indicates header files...
Comment 13 Thomas Fitzsimmons 2005-05-18 22:33:37 UTC 
Unfortunately, JPackage deviated from this convention for the SDK packages. 
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat contains the "JRE" parts and java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-devel
contains the "SDK" parts minus the "JRE" parts.  There was a bogus dependency on
gcc-java in java-1.4.2-gcj-compat (the JRE package), which is fixed in
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp_22rh.  This should minimize the dependencies
brought in by the base java-1.4.2-gcj-compat package.
Comment 14 Jeremy Katz 2005-05-23 23:22:39 UTC 
So all we need is the requires added to OOo now?  If so, let's get that in.
Comment 15 Dan Williams 2005-05-24 02:00:37 UTC 
Ok, I'll add a Requires on java-1.4.2-gcj-compat to the final build then.
Comment 16 Dan Williams 2005-05-24 14:04:04 UTC 
Should be fixed in current rawhide.
