Hi, I emerged qwtplot3d on ppc without problem. It was a dependency of qtiplot (I opened another bug for it) which seems to work reasonably well so far (no crash or anything nasty). The rendering of 3d plots is a bit slow without graphic acceleration but it works. I compiled it with gcc4.1.0. my emerge info is as follow: Portage 2.0.54 (default-linux/ppc/ppc32/2006.0/G4, gcc-4.1.0, glibc-2.3.6-r3, 2.6.14-gentoo-r5 ppc) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.14-gentoo-r5 ppc 7450, altivec supported Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r4 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="ppc" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=7450 -pipe -maltivec -mabi=altivec -mpowerpc-gfxopt -fsigned-char -frename-registers -fweb -fno-strict-aliasing" CHOST="powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=7450 -pipe -maltivec -mabi=altivec -mpowerpc-gfxopt -fsigned-char -frename-registers -fweb -fno-strict-aliasing" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks fixpackages sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.vic.keypoint.com.au http://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo ftp://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://mirror.tucdemonic.org/gentoo/" LC_ALL="en_GB.UTF-8" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.au.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="ppc X a52 aac aalib alsa altivec apache2 apm arts audiofile berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo bzip2 cairo cddb cdf cdparanoia cdr cli crypt ctype cups curl dba dri dts dv dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode esd exif expat f77 fam fastbuild fbcon ffmpeg flac foomaticdb force-cgi-redirect fortran ftp gd gdbm gif glut gmp gpm graphviz gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile hal idn ieee1394 imagemagick imlib imlib2 ipv6 isdnlog java jbig jpeg jpeg2k kde kdexdeltas lcms libg++ libwww live lzo mad matroska memlimit mikmod mjpeg mng motif mp3 mpeg ncurses netcdf network nls nptl ogg openal openexr opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl plotutils png posix ppds pppd python qt quicktime rdesktop readline ruby samba sdl session simplexml slang slp soap sockets spell spl ssl svg szip tcltk tcpd tetex theora tiff tokenizer truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb vorbis wmf xine xml xml2 xmms xsl xv xvid zeroconf zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
