OK, I ran the un install (do not have JDK installed), un install apparently went fine, then I downloaded the jre-6u5-linux-x64-rpm.bin from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp,
Followed these instructions:  http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/install/jre/install-linux.html#install
then installed it.  

Ran a ls -l /usr/java, below is output:

total 16
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   16 Mar  7 17:28 default -> /usr/java/latest
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Mar  7 17:28 jre1.6.0_05
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 Mar  7 17:28 latest -> /usr/java/jre1.6.0_05

Ran java -version, output is:

java version "1.6.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_05-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0-b19, mixed mode)

Tried to find it in the OO Calc Tools>Options dialog box, only Free Software Foundation v 1.4.2

Maybe I'm not using Tools>Options correctly?
