Oops, I thought we had fixed that... Anyways: the easiest solution is to open first-setup.sh in an editor. line 28 has

      ppc) platform="linux-ppc" ;;

you can either change that to 

      ppc64) platform="linux-ppc" ;;

or add such a new line after it. The minimals should work on your system (they do work on my ppc64 box). 

Good luck

Thomas
