When I build the latest wireshark sources on the 10.5 PPC buildbot, I can run it on the
buildbot. I'm not aware of any special configuration on the buidlbot.
We don't support PPC for 1.10 or the current development builds.
Regarding the latest 1.8.8 builds: I downloaded the latest build
http://wiresharkdownloads.riverbed.com/wireshark/osx/Wireshark%201.8.8%20PPC%2032.dmg
and it runs on the PPC buildbot. Could it be that David downloaded an Intel version?
