Installation on powerpc/Linux

Dear all,

I would like to install teTeX on a G4 Powermac running Linux 
(Mandrakelinux 10.1). I already tried the TexLive distribution, but 
there are no binaries for this platform and compiling failed. I then 
switched to teTex, hoping for better luck. But building from source 
again didn't work.
1. After ./configure, I noticed there was no /bin directory with a 
platform (I had of course installed the two packages "tetex-texmf" and 
"tetex-texmfsrc" as described in the installation instructions).

2. Running "make world" ended with the following error messages:

I am writing a textbook and decided to do that in Tex/Latex/Context. I 
would be thankful if somebody could help! Jorg.
