the problem is that with the most recent MAC OSX update Apple has
managed to kill version 4.2 which requires X11 to run. you can find
the a Bata Version of OOo 3.0 that runs native on OSX here....
http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/3.0.0rc2/
The English version for Intel Processors is OOo 3.0.0rc2
MacOSXIntell Install.dmg
If you have a PPC processor you want OOo 3.0.0rc2
MacOSXPowerPC Install.dmg
If you are looking for a diffrent Language you need to find the one
with your language designator such as OOo 3.0.0rc2 OSXIntel Install

Hi,
After installing OpenOffice.org 2.4.1 on a Mac OS X 10.5.5 it ran
okay for a couple of months then would hang when opening, with the
message "Command Timed Out". For a while clicking OK would get me
past the message and Writer would open up. Now nothing opens up;
the software just seems to hang when trying to open. My X11 Xterm
window opens up with an empty shell.
Please advise.
Thanx much,
CS
