No problem.

Actually, section 1 of the wiki should apply to both PPC and Intel.
If it says otherwise then it's old.

I've heard many many reports of it working fine.  You are the first
person in a while to complain about it not working.  I don't recall the
exact error message you're getting, but I suspect the error is related
to a broken SLIB dependency and not the gnucash code itself.  What version
of slib do you have installed?

I hope we can get it working for you, too.
