Use the -m switch to xapt when there are packages which are Multi-Arch compliant in the dependency chain. If these are omissions in the wiki page, feel free to update the wiki page. There is a lot more going on here than you may expect and building cross-toolchains on sid is probably best left to Thibault for genuine Multi-Arch support. If you just want a cross-compiler for powerpc, forget sid. Use Squeeze, build for squeeze and xapt doesn't need to look at Multi-Arch. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
