Hello The problem is not that OOo 1.1.2 is a VERY old version (which it is), but that your operation system is Jaguar, which isn't implemented in newer versions of OpenOffice.org. The mac porting team is already lacking man-power in order to provide a version for Panther (Mac OS X 10.3), so it isn't feasible to continue building versions for Jaguar (10.2). Later this year, Apple will launch Leopard (10.5)... and OOo will present a stable version for Aqua (without X11), but that probably won't work on Jaguar either. You probably have an older machine that doesn't allow you to upgrade to Panther or Tiger (10.4, the current version of Mac's operating system). In that case, I'm afraid you're stuck with OOo 1.1.2. The information you found on the website is correct. Other users responding to your mail weren't aware of the porting problems for older versions of the Mac OS. So the link is correct: http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/download/x11-102.html I'm no specialist on Jaguar or OOo 1.1.2, but the series of help on the x11-102 page should help you along. Take another read of this page X11: the help says a 4.3 version of the X11 windowing program is included in the download. I suppose it's advisable to use only this version, not any upgrade to be found on the Apple website or wherever. I've checked whether NeoOffice (a 'fork' of OOo that is native on Mac) offers a solution, but they start from Panther (10.3). So: no dice there either. If you still are stuck, come back to the list, or try directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] where the mac users and developers are. Good luck & don't give up (it's worth some effort to getrOOo on your machine) -- Guy using dutch OOo 2.2 RC 4 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and dutch OOo 2.2 RC 4 on a G4 PPC Powerbook Tiger -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
