 > So, I just tried installing libssh on 10.4 PPC and ran into the same
 error as you -- `openssl/des.h` is not found, although it's there. So
 there's something wrong with libssh that it is not finding it -- probably
 the cmake openssl search script is not working right. Haven't dug into
 that yet. Usually there's a way to override it, but I don't need libssh
 for anything so no motivation at present.

 x2goclient doesn't use that.

 have lots of trouble with that on Tiger unless you use my custom Tiger
 repo (more hassles). If you want to try that, it's at
 https://github.com/kencu/TigerPorts . But then now you have more hassles -
 learn about and install custom repos, etc.

 be happy you did, I think.

 well, I'm glad that this could lead to discover something affecting more
 machines than only my old (probably messed up) system. Maybe it will help
 someone else, thanks to you guys!
 I ordered Lion on the apple store and I'll find the time to upgrade my
 system..
