C1000/3x00 General discussions / Newbie: Help With Firefox

Thanks for your responses...

This time I've installed the GTK-2.0  but I'm still getting exactly the same message  

Having said that, one thing I have noticed this time when I installed Firefox was the error message saying that it has other dependencies, please install those too...

Meanie... the files that I cannot find on the XQT page are

# libgcc1 [libgcc1-zaurus_3.2.2-0_arm.ipk]
# freetype [freetype_2.1.5-1_arm.ipk]
# atk [atk_1.6.1_arm.ipk]

[EDIT]: I'm using an SL-C3000...

I've been trying to follow the instruction on Meanie's website on how to install Firefox but I've been unable to find some of the packages that were listed under the X/Qt installation section... I went as far as I could but X crashes when I start it.

I eventually downgraded the server version to 0.0.8 following the instruction elsewhere in this forum (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=6185), i.e.

1. xqt-fonts-misc
2. xqt-fonts-75dpi
3. xqt-server (0.0.
4. glibc-locale-eucjp
5. xbase-etc
6. xlibs
7. xqt-startup-scripts
8. xbase-client
9. blackbox
10. rxvt

and after installing Firefox, I get the following error:

error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file. No such file or directory

I'm a bit of a tinkler but I know nothing about Linux and I'm at my wit's end trying to get this up & running...

Any help & advise would be gratefully received...

If you plan to do a fair bit of travelling, you may be better off going for a PHS cellular modem (they're quite cool actually, and don't stick out half as much as your typical WiFi card).  I get the feeling that you're not going to have much luck with your netstumbler.

C1000 vs 850 - 4G HDD & faster CPU, but more softwares are tested for the 850, (I think) including a few alternative ROMs... because of the HDD, the C1000 is prone to pauses also while it waits for the HDD.

Hi folks - I'm new here, having just picked up an SL-C3000 from Japan about a month ago for just under USD600

Changing the device to English was simple enough, I think most people who would consider purchasing one of these could manage it quite easily (I know next to nothing about Linux but instruction was quite easily found on the internet).

Can you afford (time and energy for a start) to try and match the services currently offered by the parallel importers?  I think there is a market for cheaper no frills units (like no international AC adaptor, and "on your own" customer service), afterall, tinkering with it is part of the fun... I got a feeling that people who'd like the unit fully flashed before buying it is probably looking at the wrong toy anyway.

What I would love to lay my hands on though, is an English manual, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to pay the price difference in the US/Europe just for that (and as I'm not based in the US, so the extra customer service wouldn't make a blind bit of difference to me).
