I had installed Mac Os X on a cloned PowerPC 7500 (G4 450 MHz from Sonnet, 256 MB RAM) and therefore i cannot start some applications like IExplore 5.2, IChat, and the terminal too! Does anybody know what wrong is?
And i don't know how to start Safari???

Thx.

I may be able to help you, depending on what the problem is.

Open the Console (it's in /Applications/Utilities). While it is open, try to start one of the apps that will not launch. Post what error shows up in the Console.

That's the problem! I can't start the console!!! It drives me crazy!

Hmm, given that neither the Console nor the Terminal will launch, this could be tricky. I'm really surprised since Console only depends on the most basic libraries that there are in Mac OS X. This unfortunately may not be a link error as I was hoping it would be...

These are the libraries and frameworks that Console links to. Could you check to make sure that these exist on your system?

/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/AppKit
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Foundation
/usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

The thing is that without these, I would be surprised if the system would even start up. But it doesn't hurt to check...

Also, since Internet Explorer is a CFM app, it might give some sort of error box when it fails to launch. Does it do so? If so, what is the text of the error message?
