Got one on a G4 and one on a G5. Using the 0.18.1-fixes build from
the snipedpad.com.

Why? 8)

No problems yet - its just quite fiddly with lots of interlinking bits.

I've got fink installed, currently working on getting a C compiler in so I
can compile lame (which is source only in fink's archives)

Its only a G3 at 350 MHz - I do hope it has enough snot to run. Then
again the celeron 500 works okay.

I just used the prebuilt binaries, much easier than rolling your own.
On the snot front, it depends on what your video files are. A G4 450
hiccups on 720x576 MPEG2, and a G3 is missing the altivec stuff of
the G4, so I hope your files are lower res than that.

Has your celeron got a graphics card that works for XvMC?
