Hello guys,

Much appreciate the advice. Since I already have the computer , it does not hurt to try . Anyway it is a learning exercise as much as anything else. Is there a guide on how to do the compile with these perl build scripts . I think I will try that first since I only want the front-end . I understand that mac ports tries to build the whole thing ( May resort to this if all else fails ). Please point me to where the guides are (with commands I need to execute) and where the perl scripts and source code for ppc can be found . Being a beginner with Macs I'll need a bit of hand-holding to get me started. Really appreciate your help.

Best Regards
Milorad
