[PPower4] PPower4 on Mac OS X

[Sebastian Pokutta]

Hello,

perhaps someone of you can help me:

I downloaded and copied the Style-Files to "/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.macosx/tex/latex/macros/contrib/ supported/ppower4/" which held an old version of ppower4. After that I ran "mktexlsr" as proposed on the webpage. But I can't compile documents using these packages. For the sake of completeness a strip of the log:

Your help is greatly appreciated,
