You can try installing from the terminal

cd to the directory of the file then

Code: [Select]

ipkg install thefilename.ipkthen you should hopefully see why its not installing

hope that helps

btw the file is quite large if your installing on the Ram, 5 Meg.  Make sure you have room.  I think it should say something if you dont though.

Incidentally,

What is the benefit of the multimodal IBM version of Opera over the version that comes stock on the 6000L?

Yes, version 7.55. Make sure you have enough space and that the original opera browser is inthe app tab for the install to find it. I would also do a soft reboot just before installing and if that doesn't work I would download the file again.

Are you root when you try to run the ipk in the terminal?
