Linux Issues / can\'t install libncurses5 on SL-5500

« on: July 24, 2004, 02:09:51 am »

Jo-
I finally gave up trying to install libncurses5 with the Sharp ROM.  I flashed to the OpenZaurus ROM, and so far I like it much better, even though I haven't gotten everything configured like I want yet.  It includes libncurses5.  

When you installed GRASS, did you use the QTdriver?

Thanks!

Linux Issues / Linux to 5600 sync success... (kind of)

« on: July 12, 2004, 12:12:25 am »

I was so happy to see zaurus_check and optimistic that it would work for me.  I downloaded and installed, but can't get it to work.  I manually configured my network settings - giving my zaurus the address 198.168.129.201 and my linux box is 198.168.129.200.  I checked the /etc/hosts file on the zaurus, and it didn't have any hosts in it, so I added them.  

zaurus_check starts faithfully each time I put the zaurus in the cradle, but my pc still can't connect to it.  

I have a SL-5500 with the Sharp ROM upgraded to v3.10.  The network interfaces that are available in the upgrade don't include a USB interface like the 2.38 ROM does.  It seems to be looking for TCP/IP with an ethernet card, not for USB.

Has anybody else gotten this configuration to work?

Thanks!

Thanks, Jo!
I tried to follow your link, but got a server not found message.  Maybe it's temporarily down.  I'll try again later...

Accessories / What\'s the diff. between WFC11 & WCF12?

« on: July 11, 2004, 12:33:34 am »

Is that Sharp ROM 3.1 on a SL-5500 or a SL-5600?  I upgraded my SL-5500 to v3, and now my Linksys WCF11 card doesn't seem to work.    How can I tell if it's the ROM upgrade or if my WiFi card just died?

Linux Issues / can\'t install libncurses5 on SL-5500

« on: June 09, 2004, 12:25:04 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\"

I am still running the Sharp ROM version 2.38.  Could that be my problem?

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
