2007/5/25, steve beard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
... and if so, please direct me to it. I am attempting to load open
office on my Mac PowerBook G4 and have run into an error message
instructing me to install X11 windows from my original discs. Problem
-- I don't have the original discs for system 10.4.9 because I upgraded
as a download from Apple. An X11 package is included in the
applications folder, but apparently I can't use that. Any suggestions?

Hello Stephen
For the time being, you have to install X11 to run OpenOffice.org on
your Powerbook.
The version on your Tiger (10.4.x) install disks is OK. Once you
installed thgis version (probably 1.1 or 1.0), you can upgrade to
1.1.3 from the Apple site:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/x11update2006113.html
(Do _not_ download X11 from the Apple site: it is still the Panther
10.3 version)
You say you have X11 in your Applications folder.
Normally it would be in the Tools subfolder
If you open this X11, what version is it? X11 > About X11
(it should say X11 1.0 / 1.1 / 1.1.3 (one of these 3) and - XFree86 4.4.0)
Are you sure it is the X11User file, not the X11SDK developer kit?
All this and more is explained at the Mac porting pages of OpenOffice.org,
in particular http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/download/x11-104-PPC.html
where you can also download the program (it says it's having
connection problems for the moment... you can try a mirror or a
bittorent or ...
you might even try a (unstable) release candidate from
ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/2.2.1rc2_20070525
(released today...)
