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?

[coolass]

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?
