%%%I recently built Blender from svn since there is no pre-compiled version for PPC linux machines. Everything compiled without errors.

The UI seems to be offset vertically in the window, so the top UI elements are hidden past the top border of the window. The mouse is also effected - in the screenshot I've attached, you can see that blender is registering the mouse as being over a button, despite being approximately an inch below it.

As far as I can tell, everything runs properly. I'm able to open a file, move things around the 3d area, and render frames. I just have to work within the broken UI.%%%

%%%The icons also have colors flipped, so given that this is ppc it looks like an endian problem. I can't immediately see a bug in the code, and ppc on OS X still seems to be working. So probably the next step would be for a developer to actually try to test it on a linux ppc installation.

Which build system did you use, cmake or scons?%%%

%%%I used scons, but I'm going to run a compile with cmake to see if that makes a difference.

%%%I rebuilt with CMake to no avail. The same exact glitch occurs.%%%

%%%Unfortunately, seems we don't have a developer who've got PPC64 system on which he could install linux. And such an issue is almost impossible to solve without having access to system which gives errors -- there're just too many possibilities where error originally came from.

I've tried installing Debian PPC64 on different VM like VBox, QEMU, kvm and so and didn't have luck running it there -- virtual system just hangs before installer even starts working.

Added to our TODO list, hopefully we'll finally find a develoepr who's able to reproduce the issue and fix it: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Development/Todo/Install-OS#Linux

Thanks for the report, but marking it as a TODO.%%%
