Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give it a try. I was just a little
thrown off by the message that an updated version was already
installed on the disk. I'll check out the links, and then if that
takes me nowhere try the install as you and Randall suggested.
Thanks for the help.

I'm not an expert, but did you download X11 from the net or
install it
from your system DVD?
I had same problem (on PowerPC) until I installed from the DVD

Hello Bill
Take a look at the OpenOffice.org Mac porting site, particularly at
the
support page:
http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/support.html
There is a Panther version on the Apple site
For Tiger, you better install it (as Randall said) from your
installtion
CD's or DVD
The Package you need to install is called X11User.pkg. Do not
install the
Developer's package.
Apple provided an update (v.1.1.2) with errors in the Vera font
files, and
later made a corrected version available at the Apple site (v.
1.1.3). Maybe
you can update after OOo works with the X11 version from disk
Good luck
