Ok, I must be missing something obvious. Here is what
I have done:
- I downloaded the gcc3 version of python-core from Mickey\'s site.
- I moved the file onto the Zaurus using the SMB setup from
my Mac OS X system onto the SD card in a top level
directory called Install_Files
- I brought up Add/Remove software and pressed Install Packages.
- The package is not found and does not appear in the list.
- I go to the filer and select the .ipk file. This brings up the
package installer but the list of possible packages is still empty.
- Just for grins, I try to use ipkg directly from the terminal. It
complains about permissions for the directory /home/tmp/ipkg.
Funny thing is, I had no trouble downloading and installing the
terminal software from the CD. I tried moving the install files
directly into Install_Files on the internal flash. That doesn\'t seem
to work either. I know that I am missing something obvious here
but I don\'t see it.
Just now, I downloaded another package from the CD and placed
it in Install_Files on the SD card. The package manager found it
without difficulty. I tried downloading the gcc2 version too. It
still doesn\'t see the package.
The only clue I have is that on my Mac OS X system, if I use
file I see:
qpe-filemanager_1.5.0-2_arm.ipk: gzip compressed data, from Unix
The package downloaded from Mickey\'s site says:
python-core_2.3.2-oz1_armv4l-strongarm.ipk: Debian binary package (format 2.0
data.tar.gz/ 1066954824 ) created: Thu Oct 23 17:20:24 2003
Is there some further extraction I have to do? Any other ideas?
