Similar problem here.

Please, drop the double spacing, it's extremely annoying. Already asked you a couple of times. Also, post emerge -pv openoffice output.
Try to remove your user install dir at ~/.ooo-2.0, this should fix the problem

Created attachment 147573 [details] strace output of javaldx Recompiled the new version (patchset 2.4.0.5) without any luck. Attached is the compressed output of "strace -o javaldx.log /usr/lib/openoffice/program/javaldx" (uncompressed ~21M), apparently it looks for a JRE everywhere, including into the directories where the JRE is, without finding it.
Again, my apologies for the double spacing, I do alot of typing and it just comes naturally. I want to say that deleting my home user profile did the trick, but also I wanted to mention that I have Iced Tea installed and thats the java it chose, it may or may not work with just the standard 1.5 and 1.6 sun javas.
I found an easier way, instead of deleting your entire user file, just go in and delete this /home/billydv/.ooo-2.0/user/config/javasettings_Linux_x86.xml and after restarting Openoffice, java came up fine.

For me this has been (not new with the latest OpenOffice or jdk) an example of: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11390 http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6532373 doing: sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.05/jre/lib/amd64/xawt/libmawt.so fixes it for me, not sure what other damage it does though.

I could get javaldx to find the JRE by running it with LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1 but then openoffice could not find it at runtime. The sed (against /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.05/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so, not 64 bit here) fixed also the detection at runtime. I hope it has no consequences, or at least that they're just xinerama-related, because I don't use that extension.
(In reply to comment #10) Worked also for me (not 64 bit). Removing /home/toor/.ooo-2.0/user/config/javasettings_Linux_x86.xml added to the list of available jres alsa 1.4.2 by Free Software Foundation. > For me this has been (not new with the latest OpenOffice or jdk) an example of: > http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11390 > http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6532373 > > doing: > > sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' > /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.05/jre/lib/amd64/xawt/libmawt.so > > fixes it for me, not sure what other damage it does though. >
Fixed for me with dev-java/sun-jdk-1.6.0.06 See also #215150.

The problem appears that OOo doesn't realize when a JVM is updated: it still pointed at 1.6.0.04 in my xml file which was no longer there; I'm on 1.6.0.06 at this point. Picking a new JVM from OOo's GUI does not fix the issue, however, and that is a problem (silent failure): it gives no error but doesn't update the xml file, either.
I tried removing both just ~/.ooo-2.0/user/config/javasettings_Linux_x86.xm and the whole ~/.ooo-2.o dir with no success. I also performed the recommended sed in comment #10 with no luck. I have app-office/openoffice-bin-2.4.0 and dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.6.0.05 and dev-java/sun-jdk-1.6.0.05 installed. Setting LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1 as recommended in comment #11 while running either javaldx or oobase doesn't work. And, finally, no JRE's show up in the java config dialog and I can't get openoffice to recognize either JRE when I try to add one, no matter what directory within /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.05 or /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.6.0.05 I select.
In the past couple of days I upgraded to dev-java/sun-jdk-1.6.0.06 dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.6.0.06 and installed jre1.6.0_10 from java.sun.com. None of these changes at first didn't fix the openoffice problem, but thereafter I unmerged then remerged openoffice-bin-2.4.0 and now it recognizes all versions of java I have installed. I'm not certain what finally fixed it.
Could you please rebuild openoffice 2.4.0? There have been some recent fixes in regards to java detection, so those might help
