Yah, ncurses seems to have some issue with PPC. I'm not sure what the fix was, PPC guys, what are you doing to get around this?

For future reference to anyone out there, if you get this code, something went wrong with your Xcode install. Reinstall it and try again and everything should work.

Ah, good to know, I've seen a few people with the issue, thanks for the tip!
