2007/4/18, Alexe van Beuren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I did take a look at the instructions, and I'm sure I dowloaded the
right one for my mac. I downlowded 2.2. but I'm willing to use an
older one, if it's easier.
after reintalling tiger, the xterm box has stopped coming up. Now when
I try to open OpenOffice, it times out.
Not sure what to do!
Thanks, Alexe

Did you reinstall Tiger? I think that normally X11 isn't included in
the installation. Maybe check if the program sits with your

Dutch). While you're there, you can launch X11 and tell us what you
find in X11 > About X11.
Also: is your Mac an Intel or a good old PPC? (Apple icon > About this

OOo2.2 is OK, if you have the right version (Mac PPC or Intel / for Tiger).
