[PPC] xbmc will not launch os 10.4.11 PPC

I got my long awaited Mac Mini PPC that I bought among other things to run XBMC (for SD content only) on.

Unfortunately on a clean install of OSX 10.4.11 Dharma 10.1 DOES NOT LAUNCH!

there is no log at ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/CrashReporter.log

The console log shows

Could not init logging classes. Permission errors on ~/.xbmc?
ERROR: Unable to create application. Exiting


Is anyone using this on PPC with OS X 10.4 successfully?

UPDATE

I found that this is a BUG and here is a workaround.

Install the nightly *UNSTABLE*

execute it

exit xbmc

then in Applications folder, rename the XBMC(.app) to anything

now install the Dharma 10.1

Dharma will now execute .

Apparently this will never get fixed because they have moved on to 11 , so there is probably no sense in filing a bug report. Must have to do with how Dharama sets some permissions, just guessing here. Would be nice to have a stable PPC version that worked without the work around.

wait a few weeks then magically the nightly *UNSTABLE* will turn into 11.0 eden stable.

You need to create ~/Library/Logs manually.
