Gnuaccounting is said to work with Open Office or Libre Office. I installed Gnuaccouting. In the first setup screen there is no Libre Office option.
What is the Gnuaccounting, and how other office suites work with it?
From a quick scan they seem to embedd AOO or LO, if correctly installed. (I’ve seen the term “in the embedded calc window you may edit” and the illustration shows some import, but I read the german docs).
.
And to @james-o
Did you read the manual for installing the program? As you asked for LO: Did you replace the libs as instructed.
.
If you seek help you have to reveal your operating system, linux-distribution?, check your versions of gnuaccounting and LibreOffice, keep an eye on the topic 32 or 64 bit, before anybody could help you.
.
As this question actually is not on using LibreOffice but another software you may be more succesful, if you search for a forum or group with gnuaccounting as topic. If there is a solution you are welcome to put a link here, so future readers would not only see your problem here, but can be lead to a solution.
From the linked website:
" Gnuaccounting’s most recent version is 0.8.9, released 2016-12-31."
It is not very reassuring fact… Maybe it is not compatible with the newer office versions/java versions…
If you’re looking for a bookkeeping application, have you considered GnuCash? It is actively developed, compatible with many banking protocols and has many report categories. It is completely independent from any office suite and thus avoid compatibility issues.
Have you a real need for LO integration? If so, for which purpose?

The solution was too complex.
Especially for complex questions to have a documented path would be valuable.

If your time allows, please throw us some breadcrumbs: Wich Operating system, did you used Open- or LibreOffice, and wich Version. Version of Java.

I guess it is often not necessary to integrate the Office, as there is also the concept of communicating via sockets, but it is very interesting to have this tool available.
The program did not recognize Libre Office. I prefer LO to Open Office. OO takes control and starts instead of LO.
Java recently installed: Version 8, Update 341. Build 1.8_341B10 Libre Office 7l3.5.2
Thank you for working to make this work better.
