It has to be. Void names packages differently some times compared to debian/ubuntu, so it's probably part of another package or just named different. Try icu, icu-libs, icu-devel or all 3 of them.
Got a tip for us?

Sorry, no idea then. I'm guessing the version of ICU in void was updated since last year. If libicu18n did indeed install on your system you may need to create a symlink to the older version that IW is looking for as a work-a-round.

I don't remember well enough if in ppc64 was necessary (and if this syntax it's correct for the 64 variant), but did you link the library as instructed below?
I was also having errors with InterWeb in ppc64 so I tried to compile and learn something, but since I'm waiting to the DVD fan to arrive, my iMac G5 it's "temporarily retired actually", but I described the process in my posts and after installed many dependencies the available compiled version worked well. Since I didn't have more time to test exactly what was, please take your time and reply when you have found the right one.
Please since all of this it's knowledge and volunteer work, if you find useful. Search first (because I had similar issue before), reply, thanks everyone that help you solve and publish your findings to others in the future.
No effect
No effect (can not install libvpx5-devel, because there is a newer version installed)
I have installed gtk-straw-viewer and straw-viewer but how can I start it? No icon, and in terminal straw-viewer or gtk-straw-viewer also doesn't work.
Oh, and is there a way to get a virtual keyboard like in MacOS?
I think the command to start it is strawviewer-gtk. Been months since i've booted that machine.
Good afternoon, I am from Colombia and I am very interested in giving life to ppc in my case I have the ibook g4 which I use with Lubuntu remix 12.04 but I could not find a solution regarding the packages, I would like to install void but I don't know how I must do since I am not very expert with this. Beforehand thank you very much
Still tinkering around with Void on my iBook G4 800 Mhz , 640MB RAM.
A lean machine running
bspwm
sxhkd
conky ( altough I might replace it with bar, polybar, or something else)
st (with scroll also installed)
feh
wpa-supplicant
mplayer
youtube-dl
eolie ,for the bloat
qutebrowser ,for the quick surf
ranger
herbe , very light notification daemon
lite-xl , very nice Sublime alike LUA based editor
wireshark-qt
qemu
gns3
I think it's the most lightweight machine I've run so far , even lighter on resources than Manjaro bspwm on my X220.

Here you can find descriptions for the packages (it's for x86, but this help to find the right pack for PPC)
I tested the GTK+ Pipe Viewer for YouTube on Void today. It works well and it is a good alternative way to watch YouTube videos.
Screenshot of YouTube in action with ViewTube in Interweb and with the GTK+ Pipe Viewer on Void PPC:

Thanks a lot for this screenshot, having a nice gui and playing youtube videos in mpv without a workaround script for youtube-dl and mplayer after copying an url in qutebrowser is a godsend on this 800Mhz iBook.
In nearly all browser (Epiphany, Firefox and other) i get wrong colors (blue) on some pictures, is the a solution for Epiphany or Firefox to fix it? This problem is also present in the lightdm-webkit2-greeter.
It's a known issue on ppc64 linux.Wrong endianness somewhere in the code that causes RGB to be swapped. No current workaround. Only solution is use Arctic Fox for general browsing to have correct colors in images and videos and use FF etc for stubborn modern sites. 64-bit SpiderWeb/InterWeb also display correct image colors, but play videos with a blue hue.

When openning the settings for time and date i get an error and the control panel is not useable. Anyone who can help with this?

I'm also interested in the answer.
I always have to set the date manually in CLI, I configured openntpd but it looks like it's segfaulting the entire time.
I'm running BSPWM so not much GUI or applets , everything is done via CLI in my case.
Anybody with a working NTP setup that can share how and what he/she uses ?
Hi All,
NTP works with Void PPC on my AmigaOnes.
Install the package NTP:
Enable the service:
Reboot and check if the NTP service works:
Output: run: ntpd: (pid 2296) 493497782s
You can use the default run script. I modified it.
Cheers,
Christian

Thanks , I made one little change because otherwise ntpdate kept spewing output to STDOUT in my cli.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# exec isc-ntpd -g -u ntpd:ntpd -n >/dev/null 2>&1
exec ntpdate pool.ntp.org >/dev/null 2>&1Yours is a different issue I think, I'm not running Dbus , nor Gnome or any other tradionel DE.
