Title: Help installing VNC viewer and/or rte on zaurus5500
Post by: pdaman on April 15, 2004, 12:10:07 pm: I have a sharp zaurus SL5500 and I am trying to install VNC viewer and/or this LabView6.1 runtime engine for Linux. The VNC viewer file extention is
opie-keypebble_1.0.0_arm.ipk and the run-engine file extention is labview61-rte-6.1-1.i386.rpm. At first I downloaded the files via wireless connection and I tried to install them using the Bash terminal with bash terminal commands, and a lot of the commands I needed were not in the terminal. The next thing I tried was downloading it on a PC (with windows XP) then, I hot synced the files to the Zaurus and the â€œpackagedâ€ icons came up, however when I tried to unpack them they would not even open. If anybody knows what to do could you please help me out ASAP (giving step by step instructions)â€”it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Post by: lardman on April 15, 2004, 12:51:14 pm: opie-keypebble_1.0.0_arm.ipk is almost certainly an ar type ipk. Your ROM\'s ipkg unly supports tar.gz style ipks. Use ar to extract the 3 files then place them in a tar.gz archive and rename to ipk.

labview61-rte-6.1-1.i386.rpm - this is not an arm package, hence the i386, there may be something for the Z inside the package but you\'ll have to install it on a desktop Linux box.
