The debug VM says that the current architecture is not supported:

dlopen(/Users/dominique/Documents/Projets/SqueakVM/build/Development/
Squeak VM Opt.app/Contents/Resources/RomePlugin.bundle/Contents/MacOS/
RomePlugin, 10): no suitable image found.  Did find:
        /Users/dominique/Documents/Projets/SqueakVM/build/Development/Squeak  
VM Opt.app/Contents/Resources/RomePlugin.bundle/Contents/MacOS/
RomePlugin: no matching architecture in universal wrapper

According to 'lipo', the supported architectures are i386 and ppc7400  
and this is the reason why I can't run the plugin on my iBook G3  
(ppc750). I did make a test on a Power Mac G4 and it works as expected.

Any chance of having a non-G4 optimised version soon ?

Thank you for finding this, someone not versed in lipo and using a  
debug VM could have reported this issue and I could have spent quite  
a bit of time trying to understand why it didn't work.

I reviewed all my plugins and it seems when I compiled up the  
FT2Plugins and the Rome plugin I said mtune=G4.
Tsk.

So I've recompiled the plugins and stuck them via my idisk/Sophie/  
folder found via the fileSharing html link on
http://www.smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html

There is now a FT2Plugin.2.2.1z2.bundle.zip and a RomePlugin.
1.0.1.bundle.zip
which should work for any power PC cpu type.
