I have observed the same problem yesterday with Ubuntu Linux (Dapper  
Drake) on ppc. However bizarrely when I compile the application with  
'debug=yes', the main model file loads fine when I launch the  
application.

I can reproduce the problem with any applications by simply compile  
it with 'make' and trying to run it. I just got the error reported by  
Charles each time. The only exception is Gorm that loads fine with or  
without 'debug=yes'

I cannot debug the problem because GDB doesn't work on ppc with  
Objective-C except for stack trace, not really helpful here because  
no exception is thrown.

Quentin.
