Hi Vilja,
Have you downloaded the latest X11 update from the Apple downloads
site? It contains a bug fix which is necessary for OOo2.1 to run on a
PPC Mac.
http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3rdpty2.pl/
product=12045&cat=1&platform=osx&method=sa/X11Update2006.dmg
Make sure you enter the complete address (including the
"...X11Update2006.dmg") in your browser.
When you've installed the update, you should have X11 version: "X11
1.1.3 - XFree86 4.4.0" (you can see it when you click on the X11
menu, then on 'About X11'.
Alex.

The computer had panther when I got it, but I installed tiger later
on.
I have installed the X11 from a disk, and it is in the
Applications/Utilities folder.
In my understanding everything should be right, according to the
instructions. I downloaded the OOo_2.1.0_MacOSXPPC_install_en-US.dmg
version, and put it to applications folder.
Anyhow, When I start OpenOffice, it just will display the "xterm",
terminal looking window, with X11 menu on the top. OpenOffice never
starts. I've tried to install it several times and tried it even on
the panther X11 first before I got the Tiger one from the disk. Gimp,
which also uses the X11 environment, works fine. Thus, I couldn't find
any solution in the information from your support sites.
I can close the X11 with quit-command. After that the OpenOffice logo
still appears in the Dock, and cannot be taken of than with "force
quit".
Hopefully I could get some help to this problem! I think OpenOffice is
a great project, and admire your enthusiasm and helpfullness in it.
Best Regards,
Vilja Helkiö
