[How to] fix Rosetta (Crashing PPC Applications)
First of all you should check whether Rosetta is installed properly.
To do this, launch a Terminal & type: /usr/libexec/oah/translate If Rosetta runs fine, it should give this output:  If it doesn't work and says "Illegal instruction", "Bus Error" or something similiar, please try this: 1. Download this file: http://rapidshare.com/files/96033590/oah.zip.html 2. As root, move /usr/libexec/oah directory somewhere safe for backup 3. unzip the downloaded file into /usr/libexec/ 4. Enjoy PPC Applications! -------------------------------------------- If you prefer using the command line: Open Terminal, sudo -s cd /usr/libexec cp -R oah oah.bak rm -rf /usr/libexec/oah cp -R ~/Downloads/oah .

If you don't like the teminal and want to do this with the Finder, do it like this
- Press Alt+Shift+G. Enter as path /usr/libexec/ (Command+Shift+G on a Mac Keyboard) - search for 'oah' and open it - double-click 'translate'. A window with the message should appear. In case you have to replace 'oah' copy the old version to a safe place like Puttabong told. Now copy the new version into the directory. You have to enter your password. After this use the Disk Utility and repair the permissions. Info: I don't tested it 'cause my Rosetta works. If somebody tries it post the results here. 2 Opteron systems: OSx86 10.5.8, Andy's 9.8.0 kernel, Asus A8N-SLI Premium, Opteron 185 o'clocked @ 2 x 2,95 GHz (2nd system 2.6 GHz), ATI Radeon HD2600XT 256MB Dual-Monitor 2x HP L2035, 4 GB RAM, Griffin FireWave as main audio device, Marvell + nForce LAN, Asus U3S6 USB3/SATA6 card, 5,5 TB harddisk, Firewire 800 card, Apple Remote + eHome IR receiver, 2x Wacom serial graphics tablet, Canon Pixma iP4700, Logitech Internet Navigator wireless keyboard/mouse combination.

A couple of weeks ago i encountered my first problem with rosetta when i wanted to setup my amd box to be used via apple remote desktop from my intel box. No-IP for mac is running on rosetta, i needed it and it was crashing. I fixed the issue with 'Rosetta fix', i believe, from Kalyway. Working flawlessly so far. Not sure upon what it's based on, but i think its a bit obsolete version(just checked -- its only translate fixed file in the pkg), fine working though. Will try this Puttabong for sure, thanks man.
