I am definitely not the right person to answer this, because my mac
experience == 0. However, very recently, I had the opportunity to work
couple of hours on a given mac, and I faced precisely the same problem,
and as far as I remember it was powerpc machine. Hence, I compiled this
version:

Try it out. Who knows, maybe it will work.
