I see from the Install & X11 thread that you got up and running.
Happy OOo-ing!

No, I did download the right version. When I do click on the

the "open" action (the image seems to blow up and disappear) does

had from a
previous computer and clicked on it to open it. The same thing as
when I try
to start the application happens, and then nothing...
When I installed it for the first time, it did ask me if I wanted
to use the
fonts and I clicked yes.

Just one more thought... you didn't accidentally download the version
for Intel-based Macs by mistake? See http://porting.openoffice.org/
mac/ooo-osx_downloads.html As far as I know all the eMacs are PPC-
based, I'm pretty sure they were all made before Apple started using
Intel chips.

I tried all that and it still didn't work. So I re-installed OS X.4
with X11
and then trine to reinstall Open Office. Same problem again.
When I choose force quit it shows Open Office as a droplet. Is that
normal?
How can I get this thing to work once and for all?
As for the X11 window that opens up everytime, I tried to type the
command
they mention in the setup guide to no avail...
HELP!!!

I just installed OOo on an eMac running 10.4.7. When I tried to open
it, I got a message about a problem with X11. Do you know if you have
X11 installed? It's not part of the basic installation package. If
you have it installed, it should be in Applications -> Utilities.
If not, insert your system install disk, scroll down to "optional
installs", click to open, click to continue, agree, continue, until
you come to a list of things to install. Click on the triangle next
to "Applications," check on "X11" and install. Of course make sure
not to have any applications running and install from an
administrator account.
This solved the problem for me.

Hi,
I’ve installed Open Office on a eMac using X10.4 and I just can’t
get it to open. The Open Office logo does appear in the
Applications folder but when I click on it, nothing happens. The
top of the screen does display Open Office but I cant get anything
to open besides a small annoying window I cancel. Help!!! I don’t
want to have to buy the Microsoft suite $$$
Thanks
