There are two X11 programs, one is a client program and the other is a Software Development Kit. Please open the Applications folder then the Utilities folder and check if the X11 icon is present. If this icon is present please start the X11 program. If the X11 top bar appears but no windows open, click on Applications and then terminal. If this DOES NOT work, then your X11 installation was incorrect and you will need to re-install X11. This is complicated and explained on the Apple and OpenOffice.org Mac porting web site (http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/index.htm click on the FAQ link.) If a terminal window opened when you started X11, type in the following: /Applications/OpenOffice.org\ 2.0.app This should start the OpenOffice.org application. If you still get the error message, please advise.
