apt-cross --arch powerpc -i gcc

["Mathieu Malaterre" <mathieu.malaterre@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

  I do not understand what I am doing wrong. I would like to install a
power-ppc gcc compiler on my debian testing box. I found a simple page
for gentoo: http://psas.pdx.edu/GentooCrossCompilerHowto/, and I was
interested to do the same. I do have qemu installed, but I simply
can't get gcc:

  What is wrong with the following:

 apt-cross --arch powerpc -i gcc
