[ydl-gen] Cell SDK

[Warren Nagourney]

Thanks, Rob. There is a tremendous quantity of documentation on the  
IBM website including a rather elaborate installation manual for SDK  
2.0 which is for Fedora 5 amongst others.  Did you use it? I looked  
at the pdf installation doc which came with the SDK and it seems that  
we have all of the required libraries but they might be  
insufficiently recent (it was hard to tell - the numbering systems in  
my inquiries via yum seemed to differ from the IBM docs). If  
necessary we can get the recent stuff from the fedora website - xlc  
is supposed to run on a fedora ppc64 installation. I'll keep you  
posted on my progress.
