No, I have a recent release of TL2004, earlier releases indeed 
installed a
non-working version of ppower4. After I had some off-line communication 
with
Gerben he fixed it, and currently it should work out of the box. So I 
am still
interested in the strange results the OP reported, it might tell me 
what's
going on.

The current script relies on the following command
     kpsewhich -progname=java -format='other binary files' pp4p.jar
to return the path to the pp4p.jar file,
     /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/java/ppower4/pp4p.jar
on my system.

It /really/ is in the TL2004 package, and is within the default search 
path,
so please try to run it from the terminal. If you're referring to teh 
TeXShop
script: I've stopped using that one a long time ago.
