I tried powerpc and PPC, but it said "couldn't build executable" or some such. I have had a lot of luck simply building the source. If I come across any that need patching, I will edit everything out of the slackbuild except for the patching, then compile manually! PS. I use --build=powerpc during ./configure, with a lot of success... cheers. themacmeister
