RB's Linux binaries are X86 based. So they won't run on your iBook, for a variety of reasons but most fundamentally the binary instruction set isn't compatible with your processor.


Well, that and OS X is BSD based rather than Linux based so even if you had an iCBM (intel Chip Based Mac) you still couldn't run a linux binary in OS X since the binary formats are incompatible. you would have to have linux running in a vm (which you could do with virtual PC I suppose)
