You need to install Apples X11 software, it is on your install DVD
(you need to do a custom install and select X11). You can also
download X11 from Apple's website.
Having said all that, I would take a hard look at neooofice.org and
try out the version of Open Office.org that has been adapted to work
like a Macintosh program.
Thanks

Hello-
I just purchased a new mac with the latest version of Tiger. I
used open office on my pc and loved it, so I didn't bother
purchasing microsoft office for my mac, as I noticed that open
office is available for the mac. I have downloaded the advanced
build 2.0 line. It downloads the .dmg file just fine, and when I
double click on the file it mounts OpenOffice.org 2. When I double
click on that file all I see is an OpenOffice.org 2.0 icon. When I
double click on that I see the program appear in my dock for a few
seconds, but then it closes and nothing happens. I have tried
dragging the file into my applications folder, and it copies there
fine, but when I click on it I get the same response.
I have searched the internet looking for solutions and have had no
luck. I have downloaded the program in both safari and firefox
without any success.
I would really love to use Open Office on my mac - any help with
what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
