 Replying to [comment:4 kencu]:
 > 1. usually you fix this error on 10.5 PPC `ld: absolute address to
 symbol ___stdoutp in a different linkage unit` by adding -fPIC or similar
 to the configure line.

 > 2. building anything on 10.5 PPC with clang-3.4 is likely to lead to
 disaster



 kencu,
 I tried installing qhull with gcc44. I am no longer getting that linker
 error, however, I'm getting these errors in the above attachment. You
 mentioned that clang, may be at the root of the problem. Any suggestions
 as to which compiler may best suited. I'm going to uninstall clang
 temporarily and try other compilers. Is there any drawbacks to this plan.
 Thanks.
