I installed the x86_64 version of 10.2, everything works fine. :-) I was only surprised to see that OpenOffice.org is only available as 32bit. A quick look in the source RPM shows the reason: it doesn't work with Sun Java in 64bit. ? It does here. I didn't check the source.rpm. I don't understand: in 10.1, I had both in 64bit and it worked well. Anyway, could it work with GCC-Java 64bit? I've tried recompiling it, but it failed (I forgot the error message, so I'm trying again now to get it).
I don't know about that.
The result, through RPM dependency, is a mess of 32bit packages that waste space in my system. In 10.1 I was able to remove almost all of them by installed 64bit versions of everything.
Would it be possible to provide 64bit packages of OpenOffice.org relying on another Java like GCC-Java? Does it alreadly exist in a RPM-MD repository? Thanks in advance,
My understanding was it was pulled because it is such a huge package it wouldn't fit on the DVD9, so they only included the i586 version. You can get the x86_64 rpms from Factory repository. It does need x86_64 java, i.e. java-1.5.0-sun x86_64.
