Bash 3.2$ in layman's terms

Post by rural fox »

Please help. I do not understand computer lingo, so step by step directions would be greatly appreciated.
I have a new Mac OSX Leopard. I used OOo on my PC before and liked it very much. All my saved documents are OOo and I'd like to retrieve them.
I downloaded OOo 2.4 for a Mac Intel and opened it successfully. Today it will not open. A box with "bash 3.2$" appears. I also receive the "command timed out" box.

I think the X11 is installed correctly because my GIMP program is working, which also requires it. We used the disk which came with our computer to download X11.
I have also tried to re-download OOo to no avail.
I tried opening X11 and then OOo too.

I read about this in the forum, but the language went over my head.

Any help is appreciated.

Have you searched the forum? See that query.

Thanks to add '[Solved]' at beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

A recommendation to download the OOo Beta, which doesn't require X11 solved my issues.
