no surely it does not have a loadbang.
but the [model] automatically tries to load model-data from venus.obj 
(and venus.mtl)
this might be related to your problem.
you have to edit line 15 in the model.pd file. just remove the 
expression "venus.obj" --- and tell me what is happening.

can you open the model with any other program ?
a good idea would be to compile the glut-example that comes with 
glut-doc and on which the Gem-code is based.
you should find it in /usr/share/doc/glut-doc/examples/progs/demos/smooth

how did you do this, when not being able to create a Gem-window ?

again, i am sorry that i have no experience with powerpcs.
do other openGl-programs work ?
(my first tests are always with the openGL-screensavers; later comes 
blender)
