Yes,
You can install X11 from the "Optional Installs" package at the root
level of the installation disc that came with your computer, or you
can access it directly at:
/System/Installation/Packages/X11User.pkg
On a PowerPC system, you can also use a Tiger retail disc.

Thanks for those helpful suggestions.
THey worked for removing the incorrect X11. Can you tell whether
there is a way to install just the x11 package without having to
run an "archive and install"?
Thanks

This will uninstall X11 completely from your system:
sudo rm -rf /etc/X11
sudo rm -rf /usr/X11R6
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Utilities/X11.app
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/X11User.pkg
You can then install the appropriate version.
(Tarik, you are correct about the receipt.)

What I did was to delete everything manually as described in :

But you must be very careful, what you delete as you will not be
able to recover it.
After deleting I still received the message of "newer version
installed on your system". This is why you have also to remove
/Library/Receipts/X11User.pkg
Then simply do a fresh install with X11User.pkg fro PPC.
This worked fine with me, but there is no guarantee that it will
not mess up things on your system. So maybe you should wait for
advice from an expert.

Hi all, I accidently installed a version of X11user.pkg from an
intel mac
mini onto an older ppc based eMac, the result being that it
crashed every
time I tried to run it.
After getting the correct version I tried to install it only to
be told
that there was already a newer version.
So, how do I uninstall the incorrect version that I installed so
I can
replace it with one that works?
Cheers
Lee
