[Openmcl-devel] Cocoa on PPC32 ?

[Steve Núñez]

Gentlemen, 

Thanks. It is the fact that I don't have XCode installed on this computer (a temporary one whilst my regular machine is out for repair). Gary's suggestion for a reminder is a good one and would have lead me to the answer straight away. 

Cheers, 
    - Steve
