Hi, I have exactly the same problem Geoff described. I'm running osx 10.4.8 , PPC G4 1.5Ghz.
And spotlight points to nowhere except the dmg and pkg of the x11 that I've downloaded but couldn't install. It's like the computer thinks it's installed but it isn't. Thanks. I would really like to use OOo, let's see if I can make it thru this one... :) Thanks so much X11 is not in my applications. There is no icon on which to click. So my computer both has and doesn't have X11 as far as I can tell... I know this can't be... but this is how it appears...again thanks for your patience...

In the Finder, go to Applications (Programs) > Utilities (Helper programs). X11.app should be here. Open X11 with a double click. The xterm window opens. When you click on X11 next to the Apple icon (top left of your screen), then choose About X11, what does it say? It should say X11 1.1.3 - XFree86 4.4.0 (if you have version 1.1 instead of 1.1.3 it's OK, but you could update with the link Dan provided.) If you have another result, you have to install the right version of X11 or come back to the list with your findings. good luck -- Guy using english OOo 2.0.4 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and dutch OOo 2.1 RC 1 on a G4 PPC Powerbook Tiger -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
Geoff Please reply to [email protected] so other people may help too Doesn't spotlight give any clues ? (magnifying glass in top right corner of your screen). Look for X11 (the logo is a black X in a white square)
