I'm having the same problem. When I try to install the X11 under
options on the Tiger CD (or from downloads on the Apple site), it

(perhaps???). Spotlight finds X11 (or its installer, but the box icon
is open) on my hard drive, but without specifying exactly *where* it
is, so that I can find it and see what I can do with it.

Does the method outlined in for this problem in
http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/2.x/en/
SETUP_GUIDE.pdf
not work for you?
Thank you - the key was in Appendix 1, on page 42. For some reason I
only had a shorter version of the setup guide.
However, I couldn't open the "/Library/Receipts" directory because
there was no "Receipts" folder in my "Library" folder (in Mac speak).
In fact, there still isn't. (step 1)
However, I had already dragged X11 to the trash (step 2) from the
spotlight window, where I could find it -- I just hadn't dared to
empty the trash without knowing more about what I was doing.
So I used "secure empty trash" (step 3 says to empty the trash -- I
always choose the secure option), and
was then able to install X11 from the Tiger CD (step 4).
And now I can run OpenOffice! Thank you.
