Hi Eric, I ran into this over the holidays too. I pushed the correction up to the repository. Refresh and this should be fixed for you. Note however, that the resulting build can not be used to bootstrap the next zero PPC build due to issues with the change in the jdk startup process vs DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. I was going to look into that soon but the power cord to my PowerBook G4 15in was damaged by my dog tonight and all have left is battery power. Hopefully the Apple store will still have parts for this laptop. Regards, -Kurt
