Why do you want to install from source?  Debian has a binary package you 
can use.  (And it will probably work on any system that can extract the 
.bin.)

So build it on ppc, which seems to be what is intended.  Or you have to 
figure out how to cross-compile ppc code on i386.  I guess there should 
be a HOWTO out there but it may be more work than you want.  Unless 
learning cross-compiling makes you more marketable.

Might be a good CLUE talk though...
