Ubuntu
libformula-openoffice.org package

ant all produces several missing package errors

Asked by LarryE

After downloading https://launchpadlibrarian.net/26596404/libformula-openoffice.org_0.2.0-OOo31.orig.tar.gz,
then unzipping and untarring, tried building with ant:

/home/evansl/download/libformula/libformula-openoffice.org-0.2.0-OOo31 $ ant all
Buildfile: build.xml

prepare:

classes:

My system is:

/home/evansl/download/libformula/libformula-openoffice.org-0.2.0-OOo31 $ uname -a
Linux evansl-desktop 2.6.32-38-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 4 11:12:07 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

How can I get the missing packages installed on my system. I've looked in synaptic and searched
for both libformula and pentaho and installed all relevant packages.

TIA.

-regards,
Larry

Downloading another archive and changing java args worked.

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 21 seconds
~/download/libformula/libformula-0.1.18.3 $

However, trying to run resulted in:

~/download/libformula/libformula-0.1.18.3 $ java -cp libformula-0.1.18.3.jar org.jfree.formula.parser.FormulaParser
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jfree/util/StackableException
 at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)

googling for org/jfree/util/StackableException showed:

http://www.jfree.org/jcommon/api/org/jfree/util/StackableException.html

searching for jfree in synaptic showed:

  libjcommon-java

the installed files for that package showed:

  /usr/share/java/jcommon.jar

so added that to the -cp arg to get successful run:

~/download/libformula/libformula-0.1.18.3 $ java -cp libformula-0.1.18.3.jar:/usr/share/java/jcommon.jar org.jfree.formula.parser.FormulaParser
