OO.o 3.1.0 RC2 is the same as the official release version rg/MacOSX/ has OO.o 3.1.0 available in all languages for both Intel and PPC Macs. Only language versions that have passed the QA process are available from the official download site. This is due to the lack of volunteers who own PPC Macs to do the quality assurance work. OO.o 3.1.0 for PPC Macs has only passed the QA process in a few languages (English is not one of them). OO.o 3.1.0 uses the native Mac interface and does not need to use X11. Very few would see it tucked away at the back of the other thread. I've split this post from the original thread. Is Aqua different from regular OpenOffice? SHould I write to someone to tell them that the Aqua for PowerPC does not seem to go to the correct link? If I carefully dig some more I find "OOo_3.1.0rc2_20090424_MacOSXPowerPC_install.dmg" which is about the same size as the 2.4.0 version. The Aqua for PowerPC says that 3.1 was released in May of 2009 and when I click on download I get hundreds of download choices!!! If I dig a little bit and click on the "Installation Instructions" in the sidebar and pick Apple I find that there is an "Apple OSx Aqua" which tells me that if I have OSx 10.4 or newer I can download "Aqua for Intel" or "Aqua for PowerPC" When I pick Mac OSX PPC I can download "OOo_2.4.0_MacOSXPPC_install_en-US.dmg" If I go to OpenOffice download and pick the "Get more platforms and languages, non-JRE versions" at the bottom of the download choice I get the big list of 20+ different languages and 10 different platforms. I am trying to figure out which version of OOo to install on a Mac PPC running OSX 10.5.4. I installed it fine on my PC (boo hiss) and am now trying to install it on my MAC.
