Hi,

Can anybody help me how to get the X11 and OpenOffice working on my Macbook,
It works fine on my Imac.

IMac 20' [2.0] [2gig] [250gig]

Are they both Intel macs? I couldn't get X11 for my Intel iMac as Apple stopped bundling it with OS disks. I had to download the source from the developer site and compile it myself, and even then I had to manually make aliases to get certain things working.

Yes they are both intel, i did not have that problem with IMac (intel) when i click on the OpenOffice icon, it automatically load the X11. any cue? (downloaded the X11 from Apple website.)

You could just try NeoOffice as it's pretty much the same thing, Intel native, and runs without X11.

Thanks that is a great help.

I thought X11 was on the OS disks. Isn't it buried in the extras on the restore disks?

Yeah. It must be because I have it on my Intel iMac and I didn't download it.

I Apple did not automatically load it in the os, it was a option on restore disk.
But is it on the Macbook restore disk?

Hi,

X11 is on your OS disc. have a browse and find it and you can simply install it from there

If you cant find it then you may try download it from the apple website:
