I am trying to install StarOffice on OpenSuse 11.1 and it reports:
Select the directory in which to save the unpacked files. [/var/tmp/unpack_staroffice]
File is being checked for errors ...
Unpacking ...
All files have been successfully unpacked.
Running installer
Attach to native process failed

This problem has been found also somewhere else with Java. Has it to do with the version of Java we are using under OpenSuse? See below - How can I replace this version with an original Sun Java?
golpe@viper:~> java -version
java version "1.6.0_0"
IcedTea6 1.4 (suse-24.5.2-x86_64) Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b14)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b08, mixed mode)
Any ideas what could be wrong? I have deleted OpenOffice because I got this error before and still now.

that IS an original Sun Java…but, i see it is a 64 bit JDK, perhaps
the star office is looking for a 32 bit??
IcedTea was originally created by the Open Source Java team at Red Hat…
and
IcedTea is a basis on which to experiment,…
How can I replace it by the original Sun version? Is there somewhere a description how this can be achieved? Linux uses a special scheme to deal with various versions of tools … located in /etc/alternatives

ok, i didn’t notice the IceTea the first time…didn’t notice because
i knew a DEFAULT install of Java on openSUSE would be the Sun Java…
where and how did you get that IceTea installed??—manually perhaps
(like microsofties do it? by going to some site on the net, with your
browser and downloading?? use YaST and you automatically get software
MADE for your system)
YaST > Software Management > Search
type in java (on the left) and click “Search”
then, (on the right) scroll to
"java-1_6_0-sun Java™ 6 Runtime Environment! select it (single
left click to the box on the left of the line) and
“java-1_6_0-sun-plugin Browser plugin files for java-1_6_0-sun” ONLY
but, i have NO idea how to clean the IcedTea out of your system…if
you installed it manually [from a command line using the RPM] do you
can read man rpm to learn how to UNinstall it manually…
and, i guess you should probably do that before you install the REAL
Sun Java…
now, let me ask: is there a particular reason why you want to use
StarOffice? i ask because OpenOffice is usually a part of the default
install of openSUSE and it is a (as far as i know) a drop-in,
perfectly compatible version of StarOffice which ‘just runs’…(in my
experience, for my needs…perhaps you have a special need that only
StarOffice will fill…)
I installed it automatically upon initial installation I just selected JAVA and all that stuff came automatically.
When I now start Yast > Software Management it comes up with
