I just took a couple of minutes to checkout the current stable Open Soure Tripwire(R) 2.4.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.4.11 PPC.
I unpacked the source code, ran "./configure && make && make install". Tripwire configures and compiles without any problems using the tool chain that comes with 10.4 out of the box, I didn't even update to the latest XCode etc.
This is the output of "tripwire --version"
Open Soure Tripwire(R) 2.4.1.2 built for powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0

Tobias, To install tripwire via MacPorts, you would use "sudo port intall tripwire". What happens when you type that? It instals fine for me, but I don't use tripwire so I can't test its operation. Mark
