Contrary to popular belief, linux does run on things other than x86, and people with powerpc machines do use OSs other than Darwin. It seems, however, that the parrot configure system does not detect my platform as JIT-capable, even though I have a strong suspicion that it would work anyway. However, I don't understand the configure system well enough to get it to let me use JIT. Also, the executable file generator (jit/ppc/exec_dep.h) only supports Darwin Mach-O files, and not powerpc linux which uses ELF. Arcady
