A Google search for "xerces rosetta" seems to indicate that Rosetta handles programs that include Xerces-C just fine. I have to believe you'd get better performance if you distributed universal binaries, though. Presumably this would require you to use Apple's tool chain.

Hello all, I'm trying to distribute my application to Mac OS X network that has X86 machines and PowerPC machines. I've tried running the executable compiled for Power PC with Power PC xerces library on X86 machines, and they ran fine. So I'm just wondering if I could continue using this or if I need to compile with X86 machine using X86 xerces library. The reason behind this question is that x86 machines do not have gcc installed, and I do not have admin privilege to the machines; I want to minimize the number of requests to my systems administrator. Thank you in advance! -- Jin
