LinuxPPC

OpenMCL runs under relatively recent versions of LinuxPPC. It requires version 2.2.13 (or later) of the Linux kernel and version 2.1.3 (or later) of the GNU C library (glibc). It's been reported that OpenMCL runs reliably under version 2.4 of the Linux kernel.

DarwinPPC/MacOS X

OpenMCL has been developed under versions 10.1 through 10.1.5 of MacOS X; these correspond to versions 1.4.1 and 5.5 (yes, they seem to have changed the version numbering scheme in there somewhere) of the open source Darwin operating system, which provides core technology to MacOS X.

There were apparently some significant changes introduced in 10.1/1.4.1; I'd be pleasantly surprised if OpenMCL ran under earlier versions.

I haven't been able to do any preliminary testing under Darwin proper, but OpenMCL doesn't intentionally use any MacOS X features beyond the Darwin subset.
