I don't know what the rest of the community says, but I say it's a good idea to install all updates Apple suggests. > Possibly related (though maybe not), while I was gone, someone in > our office upgraded the same Mac to 10.4.8 (but they did not > install the new X11 package as suggested by Software Update).

A quick search shows that libicuuc seems to be part of icu, the International Components for Unicode. If you had the icu port installed, and OpenOffice.org made use of it, and you had recently upgraded the icu port, then this could account for the problem, and the solution would be to rebuild the OpenOffice.org port. However, I cannot find any such port. Did you install OpenOffice.org via MacPorts (if so, what's the port called?) or did you install it by downloading a binary from www.openoffice.org? If the latter, I would have expected it to be completely self-contained so that breakage such as you're seeing would not be possible. However, it couldn't hurt to just try to reinstall OpenOffice.org anyway (by whatever method you usually use) and see if that fixes it.
Ryan, thank you for your reply and suggestions. Apologies that I had not yet followed up to this message I originally authored. In the days since I authored it, I did not upgrade Apple's X11 however I did install a new version of OpenOffice (2.1) which became available as a binary from one of the main www.openoffice.org mirrors (not as a MacPort). In doing so, the problem went away. I have still not yet updated to Apple's X11 but I am going to consider doing so early next week. I'm quite concerned if Apple's X11 might in some way interfere with XFree86 because I recall (without looking at the moment at my detailed notes) the set up and configuration of XFree86 via MacPorts was relatively delicate. Best regards, TM
