Thanks for your reply,Tom I HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM THANKS TO USING YOUR SITE BELOW. I was confused about the installation of X11 because if you use the Optional Installs Installer on the Install Disc you have to install "Applications" which are all the things like iCal, iChat etc which were already installed and X11 is on the end. I think this should have been installed already,not sure why it wasn"t What I did was installXcode Tools instead! I am using an Intel iMac; would the procedure be different on this? Anyway, the OpenOffice now is Open! Thanks very much for your help. Anna <snip> Hello Anna
X11 isn't installed automatically because Apple doesn't think you'll need it (and you don't if you only run Apple software). The easiest way to find X11 on you Mac OSX installation disks seems to be using a Spotlight search (maybe this should be added to OOo's installation How-To). Then you don't even have to know where it comes from :-) The reason why the How-To isn't too specific about the exact place where you can find X11 on the install disks is that the organisation of these disks isn't always the same (2 cd's, 1 dvd, etc.) Good luck and enjoy OOo! -- Guy using dutch OOo 2.1 RC 2 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
