if you run them from the command line what errors do you get?

I get " error while loading shared libraries: libgpewidget.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

when I checked, libgpewidget is installed alone with all the files needed.
It must be in the wrong place or the wrong version.
what do you think?

You must install the new cvs ver. as all the new cvs packages are based on it.
Please redo the all ipks installation with the new cvs packages, to be sure that all ipks are new.

Ok guys, my thoughts were right.
I compiled the new RPMS packages based on the fresh CVS.
I look into code and see that even-db.c of libvevent and vevent.c from libgpevtype where changed.
Now the NEW packages works, but there' s a problem with the creation of the event_new table.
So gpe-calendar goes down with creation of a new database.
And you need to create the table yourself with sqlite commands to make it work.
Logically it works stable with an existent DB.
A new feature is a green line that seeks your current time displaying the hours you need in day view, cool!
OK, as the event library is being changed in cvs day by day, i think we have to wait until it becomes stable without errors.
As i see now, the event generated by libschedule in the at job creation has the right number.
Id Es: #!# ID Event_Number.
ID is the right reference.
But libschedule doesn' t yet delete the right at job.
So before doing any changement i have to be sure libevent works right.
The last changement in CVS was about 13/04/06
I compiled all the new packages today for FC4.
Before compiling it for the Zauri, i have to be sure they work at all.
As gpe-calendar is based on libgpevtype, libgpepimc, libeventdb, libschedule.
Any changement in calendar reflects logically in the libraries. So i have to check the CVS for all the libs and compiled as well.
GPE-Announce seems to be stopped in devel.
So i made the Volume changements and the Buzzer deletion as well.
Logically the Snooze problem still remains as it's bound to libschedule, but now Announce seeks the configuration in the .gpe dir and sounds for 30 sec until the 80% of Volume is reached, instead of 20 sec at 100% noising for the loudness.
I will compile it again for the Zauri too, to make it possibly use with AT cmds directly.
Please see if the changements reflect your taste and tell me if you like them.
OK, the new packages to test will be on my [a href=\"ftp://217.133.58.241]FTP[/url] as you asked me to try it.
Any new CVS changements will be reflected in new packages there as well.
Until they don' t become usable and stable i will not post them on my contrib.
Only new gpe-announce will be as functional in my contrib.
Ok we only have to wait for new fixes on CVS server now.
I will try to communicate with the GPE guys to see what their intenctions will be.
BYEZ!!!!

I have checked and I am running all the new versions. However I noticed that I have 2 versions of the ...widget. the 2005 version from the main pdax feed.  If I uninstall both versions and then try to install only the new version it installs the old version from the other feed.  I will remove the other feed from the package manager however when I put it back for other things I am afraid it will install it again at a later date.
what is the norm here?

thanks again.

Hi,

I have installed many of the GPE apps and none of them load. It looks like it will run up but nothing accually starts.
I must be missing a main set of files for pdaX.
If there is something general that I am missing that someone could point out that would be great. I don't mine being a tester for any of these apps but I am new to the zaurus. One other app that I am looking for is a gas mileage logger. I noticed a mileage file at the beginning of this string but I don't see the file any longer.


Thanks

General Discussion / Not Sure Which To Buy?

« on: January 22, 2006, 11:18:36 pm »

Hi,

I am looking to purchase one of the C series Zuarus units.
One of the main things I'd like to get into is using the unit for GPS purposes.
I'd like to have the unit in my car as I drive etc...
I live in Toronto Canada which I think may make it hard to find maps.
firstly, Would I be able to get the unit to work as a GPS with Canadian maps?
Secondly, Should I get the 3100 for it's disk space or could I get away with a 1000 as it is cheaper.
I'd like to use the unit for other things as well such as a normal PDA, wireless laptop at home and one day maybe a GSM phone if possible but not that important.
Anyway, some help here would be great.

thanks in advance.

General Discussion / Looking To Buy A C1000 But I Have A Few Questions.

« on: November 12, 2005, 12:23:06 am »

Hi,

I am looking to buy a C1000. The two main things for me are that it works on a wireless lan ( as fast as possible ) using WPA TKIP security.
I also wish to use the unit with a GPS card and Canadian maps.

Are there any issues with either of these?
If so, how would I go about getting them to work if it's possible.

I am not new to the Linux world but I am new to the Zaurus world.

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.
