My wife has Mac OSX 10.5.5. About three weeks ago I loaded OpenOffice
2.4.0 onto her machine and OO worked. She did Apple Updates and last
week OO stopped working. When she tries to start it or open a document
it puts up the following bash prompt:
bash-3.2$
We downloaded OO 2.4.1 and it gets the same result when trying to
install. We re-loaded X11 from the Apple Install Disk. The disk contains
X11 2.1.1 and says it pertains to xorg-server 1.3.0 applet.
Since OO broke after doing Apple Update I assume that OSX now has some
behavior which OO does not expect.
What is the ETA for a fix? OO 2.4.2?
Thanks,
Mark
The newest Mac OS X Leopard update 10.5.5 causes problems with X11
There is a work around.

Also you may need to install latest X11 from
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/Releases
A simpler solution that I highly recommend is to install OO.o 3.0.
Release candidates are available now. The final release is out in a week
or two.
