Ladies & Gents,
Hello to you all. I'm probably asking a question asked a hundred times
before, but I have tried the self-help sections of the web site, and
typed all sorts of things into "x-term" but to no avail, and I'm
hoping someone can tell me an easy solution, preferably without
writing a book's worth of terminal commands! I am a veteran of CPM,
DOS & Windows (up to 98), but once I ditched PCs, I've become used to
using already set up MS Office for Mac. Hey, MS Office is crap, but
it's up and running. I would love to use the (much better) Open
Office, but these days, I need something that's ready to go.
Here is what I did. I downloaded version 2.4 of Open Office. When I
started the program up, post installation, it told me I needed Apple
X11, so I installed it from Mac OS X Panther (10.3), as instructed.
When I launch Open Office, it sort of opens itself, then opens X-Term,
and then stops.
My system details are as follows: I have an Apple Macintosh Powerbook
G3 Lombard, with a 400 MHz processor, 256MB RAM, and 6GB HD, running
MacOS 10.3.9 (but I installed X11 from the original 10.3.0 install
discs).
Can anyone help please? Perhaps I need an older version of Open Office
for my hardware/software?
Many thanks to all.
Kind regards,
Marcus.
OO.o 2.4 requires OS 10.4.xx or 10.5.xx. OO.o 2.1 is the last version to
run on OS 10.3.xx. For info and to download it go to
