Title: trouble installing libncurses5 on SL-5500
Post by: sherilyn on June 06, 2004, 05:36:30 am
I have downloaded 4 different versions of libncurse5 and can\'t get any of them to install.  I get the following errors:
 
  zcat: libncurses5_arm.ipk: not in gzip format
  zcat:  stdin: unexpected end of file
  ipkg_install_file: ERROR unpacking contraol.tar.gz from libncurses5_arm.ipk

If I download a file with a .gz extension I get a message that the package name contains illegal characters.  

If I try to use gunzip to unzip the file with the .gz extension, I get an error message that says \"invalid compressed data--crc error\"

Help!  I really really want to run GRASS GIS on my Zaurus, and I think this is the only piece that I can\'t get to work.

Thanks,
Sherilyn
