Hi,
I have an intel based macbook pro and I've tried to install openoffice. But
when I do, I get a message that says I must have X11 in order to run
OpenOffice. So, I downloaded a package and tried to install X11. It told me I
couldn't install because there is newer software on my computer already. So
first I looked for this newer software that was supposed to already be
installed and couldn't find it. Then I got my install disk out and installed
X11 from there. I had no problems installing, but when it was finished, I
looked for the icon in Applications/Utilities and it wasn't there. I also
tried to open OpenOffice and it came back with the same message that X11 wasn't
installed.
Then I recently read an email on this list that said you had to use Spotlight
to find the old file, then delete it before X11 would work. So I typed "X11"
in Spotlight and it didn't find any executable files, just the pdfs and install
packages I had downloaded.
Has anyone solved this particular problem, and if so, how did you do it?
thanks
