I moved away from Open Suse also, I now run Ubuntu 9.04 (I've been using Ubuntu on my TiBook for a couple years now) This version works very well for everything except the usb image creator tool (it is an i-386-586 specific tool as syslinux hasn't been ported to ppc). Java, the app and JRE work as does flash. Cheers, SteveD On May 25, 2009, at 1:48 PM, Brett Smith wrote:

Oh what a shame. However I have to try it, because I don't have other ways. My other java application also behave incorrect, especially jedit which is my daily tool. The problem seems to be related to JRE compatibility with Chinese input method which is beyond what I can fix by myself. I guess I had to try see if IBM JRE works for me.
And I start to fight dependency. First error message for latest ppc RPM package is: error: Failed dependencies: libstdc++.so.5 is needed by ibm-java-ppc-jre-6.0-4.0.ppc The usual dirty way of solving such problem is cp /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
however it doesn't fool the installer. I still gets the same error messag: error: Failed dependencies: libstdc++.so.5 is needed by ibm-java-ppc-jre-6.0-4.0.ppc
Am I one of the first trying to install IBM JRE from IBM site? I guess if other people when through this trouble they probably have some guide posted, but google told me nothing.
I do not have openSUSE anymore on my Mac G4 because it does not easily support SMP. However, I was able to make the IBM Java work as the default on Fedora 10, so the steps below might work with modifications on your Mac. The RPM package names will be slightly different, and you may need to research more to enable localization, as I only use English.
