first, I don't have a Mac, so my instructions might not be 100 % correct. :)

What we need to know, is which version of Mac OS X do you have? I'm
sure, there is somewhere an "about" information, that tells you that
you run Mac OS X 10.6.4 or something similar.

Second, which version of OOo did you download? If you don't know this,
can you give us the website, where you've downloaded the software?

Third, as far as I know, if you have both a recent version of OOo and
of OS X, then you don't need to install X11, since OOo can run
natively on OS X.

> Thanks in advance for your help.

Please answer the above questions, so that we can help you further.
And please reply to the list only. Thanks.

Sigrid
