X86_64 unable to use JRE with openoffice

Hello,
While I am on Porteus x86_64
I would like to use a favorite add-on for open office called LanguageTool-1.3.1.
but this add-on need a JRE environment to be installed, so I downloaded the module jre-6u24-x86_64-1 from a slacky repo, and then run open office to add this extension, but I get this error message even after the ldconfig, and the reboot. even when I am logued as "ROOT"

So I try to go to tool -> option -> java.
The case use java environement is enabble but the list of installed java environment is empty. and when I choose add, it is impossible to find a path to The right file/folder, it always stay empty. (I have tried reccursively lib64, /usr/lib64, usr/lib64/)

Moreover, in porteus 32 bit I just had to install jre-6u20-i586-1 and open office could install LanguageTool. So I don't understand.

What do I have to do to make openoffice be abble to see jre in 64 bits OS?
why is it different from the 32 bits OS althought I only have 64 bits modules?

after installing "jre-6u24-x86_64-1.txz"
ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/slac ... 6_64-1.txz

open terminal and type this

Code: Select all

ln -s /usr/lib/java/bin/* /usr/bin/
then open OpenOffice.org , and tell us the result.

Best Regards.

@Arabic_World, doing symbolic link didn't change anything for openoffice.

@beny: is it better to create package from the .debs openoffice from the official website?

Hello Beny, when I try to install OOo rpm with the installation wizard, there are errors that end this, and it requiere 300 Mo more than an OOo package for porteus.

Where is the script you told me?
