I downloaded OO 2.4.0 for Mac OSX PPC today and am unable get it
running.
Whenever I start OO, it appears briefly and is then replaced by X11,
which opens an xterm window. After a few seconds, I get an error
message: "Command timed out."
If I then select OO from my Dock, I get 3 menus: OpenOffice.org, File,
and Edit. File shows only 1 option: "Use Startup Screen," which is
grayed out. Edit shows Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Clear (all grayed out)
and Edit Script. The mouse cursor, meanwhile, shows as a slowly
rotating timer wheel.
So I'm unable to use the program at all. It won't even quit properly
-- I have to force quit it via Activity Monitor.
I've set X11's preferences according to the instructions on page 5 in
Howto_OOo_2.0_MacOSX_english.pdf.
