I try to learn also from your way of coding, so the question basically was out of curiosity. But, if I have to do a little of introspection, I have to admit I feel the pain for the PPC version: lately I've wandered around the wiki page fixing some instructions and tried to compile under debian (to achieve a compilation) and tried to fix the PPC version. so, when I told myself "let's try a tar file: it'd be more stable than a github clone" I've found a Makefile and I felt slightly confused, but now if I think about it, without rake you could build shoes without having ruby installed, don't you? all of the other dependencies are dev-libraries. anyway, I really want to help for the PPC building, so be prepared I'll pester you more in the future ;) hope you'll be cool with that Emanuel
