I downloaded openOffice 2.0 from the web site. when I tried to
install it I received the message, " openOffice.org is not installed
on your system. Please re-install it." This is hard for me to
understand because I see that openOffice.org is listed in the
applications folder. There was nothing mentioned on the install CD
about X11.app. Even though I received the error message I previously
reported about X11.app when I looked for it in the utilities folder I
could not find it.

Today, I received a CD install disk for openOffice 2.0. I am using
a PowerMac running Panther(OS 10.4.8) and I have 768 megs of DRMM..
I tried to install openOffice and after I copied it to the
Applications folder, it would not open. The info for installation
on a Mac, said that I would need X11.app in order to install the
openOffice. I was referred to Apple support and I downloaded that
file butr when I went to install it, I received the message that "
it couldn't be installed because newer software was already
installed.
The CD said that installation was easy, but I have not found that
to be true. Can you give me some advice regarding this issue?

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:

I would also suggest you look over the information avaiable at
