From another member of this mailing list: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You have to use the installation disk to install the X11 windowing system. There is a good How-To here: http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/Howto_OOo_2.0_MacOSX_english.pdf ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I would also suggest you look over the information avaiable at http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/.
