I can only guess at the problems, clearly there is a ‘bug’ somewhere. Thus LibreOffice is listing them in upgrade order and not the order that I installed them! so is that a good thing?īut if I select any of those four JREs, shut LibreOffice, open it again (yes it keeps the selected one) then File/new database/create/ register/open I get the same error message that is “…the selected JRE is defective…” If I open LibreOffice /Preferences/Advanced I see four JREs: I have now installed JDK 17.0.6 as you suggest. It has the highest version of OSX 10.13.6 High Sierra, you cannot load a newer version. To confirm I have switched back the the slightly earlier LibreOffice 7.3.7.2 I have what is now an ‘old’ Mac from 2011 with an Intel processor, but it has a lot of RAM and so runs things like CAD quite quickly. Thank you HerCorns for your continued interest in what might be fixable. How do all the other Mac users of base cope? Or is my mix of OSX and LibreOffice not working - would an earlier LibreOffice version help? Mac terminal is a daunting place to go to be able to simply delete later versions, at the moment I cannot even find the Java directories. How do I find the problem? I read there are big complications with earlier Java JRE versions not being able to be ‘seen’ over later installs. I started NeoOffice, it found JRE 1.8.0-361 (did not show the 19.0.2!) and it happily created a database and I could paste in a big spreadsheet of data.īut I would like to do this in LibreBase. I then downloaded the earlier Java JRE 1.8.0_361 which LibreOffice/Preference/Advanced could see and I could select but still an error if I look at a table with “No Java installation found. Perhaps my Mac had the old Apple installations? Much web searching led me to download and install (from the JDK) the latest Java JRE 19.0.2 which appears in the LibreOffice/Preference/Advanced and is bullet selected and the Use java box ticked. When first trying to build a database I was a bit surprised with messages telling me I needed the Java JDK. I have an older 2010 Mac, intel processor, OSX10.13.6 and LibreOffice 7.4.3.2. I have moved to LibreOffice from NeoOffice as I like to look and feel, but this is my first entry to the database (since MS Access many years ago).
