32-bit code under 64-bit kernel: OpenOffice crashes
Hello all. I have 32-bit Novell OpenOffice installed on by 64-bit SuSE 10. When I open the tools page and click on Java (where I should be able to see the installed Java environments), OpenOffice hangs, 100% of processor power is sapped, but 'kill -TERM' stops OpenOffice. The curious thing is that while Open Office is hung, 'ps auxw' reveals that 64-bit Java is running. Somehow, therefore, OpenOffice tries to invoke the 64-bit Java (Sun, 1.5 version), not the 32-bit Java. My 32-bit Firefox works with the 32-bit Java just fine. So, how can I force OpenOffice to look only at the 32-bit Java, so that it doesn't hang? CF -- Running 64-bit Linux on AMD64

I use the 32 bit java just fine within OO. I wonder if it could be related to
your CLASSPATH or PATH settings. I know on my configuration, when I set up a
new Java environment, it takes OO a while to detect the new Java. It's not
hung just searching the disk, the best I can tell.
I'm not sure, but it may be that OO needs to try to start the JRE somehow to
determine if it is compatible. Perhaps it is this process that's causing the
hang.
I would try to set my CLASSPATH environment variable to point to the 32 bit
java first.
Place this in you .profile:
export CLASSPATH=
