Interesting.  What is the exact process for this to happen and what
version of gcc are you using to build it?

Will the .dmg packaging not work that is used with the PowerPPC version
of MacOSX?

Why did you take so long to inform us of your difficulties?  Were you
working on this for over a month?

These two groups should be appauded for supporting OpenOffice on the
