For epm you have two options:

Please be aware that the board does not "stick its nose" into the
daily operations of a project. The current status of AOO came to
the boards attention via the required PMC reports as well as
other communications. It was only because of that that the board
got involved.

o OSX 10.4 or 10.5
o Xcode 2.4.1 or 3
o OSX 10.4 SDK
From what I can see the likely culprit is support for PowerPC, since,
iirc, 10.4 was the last to support PPC.
The OSX 10.4 SDK is also an issue..
Well, not sure if it is *allowed* or not, but VMware Fusion specifically
allows for it. And it works.
