17 The amd64 openoffice-bin requires a *32 bit* java to be installed. It does
18 take "forever" for ooo to decide that it can't find one.
19
20 The 2.0.2 ebuild should install one (app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-java).
21 Perhaps the location entries in the settings file are pointing somewhere
22 other than where they should be pointing. Maybe due to copying over
23 user data from earlier ooo installs.
24
25 In my personal javasettings_Linux_x86.xml file I have
26 <location>file:///usr/local/java32/jre1.5.0_05</location>
27
28 And I downloaded sun's x86 jre and installed it outside of portage
29 sometime ago. Cured my problems.
