Ok i will move over to the Dev list. Alex, was this a "roll you own" linux distro that you were using? What i have is a G4 (gray case) UP with 1G ram so it should do ok. I seem to be seeing a lot about slow compiling, is it realy bad or just takes time? I could setup a cross compiler under my gentoo box, but then libs will be the issue.
Looking forward to work on this.
