Hello Stephane

I guess you could get Tracker running on your eMac, as long as you
compile the dependencies... Ensure that you get recent enough versions
with Fink, you can also try MacPorts, but in your case I think jhbuild
would be the best solution (except you don't get binary packages).

Cheers
