The X-11 download from Apple is an older version and not for 10.4x
which is what
your Macbook pro has on it. You need to install the X-11 from the
install disk that
came with your computer. Just do a custom install and select the
optional X-11
package.

Hi,
I have an intel based macbook pro and I've tried to install
openoffice. But when I do, I get a message that says I must have X11
in order to run OpenOffice. So, I downloaded a package and tried to
install X11. It told me I couldn't install because there is newer
software on my computer already. So first I looked for this newer
software that was supposed to already be installed and couldn't find
it. Then I got my install disk out and installed X11 from there. I
had no problems installing, but when it was finished, I looked for the
icon in Applications/Utilities and it wasn't there. I also tried to
open OpenOffice and it came back with the same message that X11 wasn't
installed.
Then I recently read an email on this list that said you had to use
Spotlight to find the old file, then delete it before X11 would work.
So I typed "X11" in Spotlight and it didn't find any executable files,
just the pdfs and install packages I had downloaded.
Has anyone solved this particular problem, and if so, how did you do
it?
thanks
