Searching the forums will also turn up a lot of useful info on these apps.

Rone,

I will follow up this post with a search on Erminig. But I thought I'd mention that I tried installing Erminig this afternoon. After finding and installing GPE calender and then downloading Erminig I tried using the ap manager to install it. Ap manager then said I needed gdataclient and pysqlite to install Erminig. So I found and successfully installed gdataclient and then downloaded pysqlite. When I tried to install pysqlite, ap. manager needed Python 2.5 to install it successfully. Well, then I found Python on Maemo.org and found that it wouldn't install because of corrupt files and a server problem. So, Am I doing this right? And is there another way to download the Python 2.5 application I need?

Edit: Ok, I just successfully installed Erminig. My problem was that I didn't know what of the Python aps that was showing up in my Application manager ' browse installable applications' I was supposed to install. After some more research on this site I found that I needed Python 2.5 runtime. Using the application manager I then installed that. With that installed I could then install Pysqlite. With Pysqlite istalled then Erminig installed successfully.

Well, it just took me all afternoon to get this done. But if I can do it anyone can :)

Edit # 2 -- I tried to open and use Erminig. It opened OK for a while and after fiddling with it for a while, it now will not open for me. I'm guessing Erminig is missing something, but I have no idea why it won't open now when it initially did. Anyone have any ideas?



Thanks,
Neil

i would give my left and right testicle for that to be ported ... as long as it would retain ALL the specified functionality

Sorry to hear about your challenges getting it to install. Believe me, I feel your pain. I am windows guy that had spent only a little time with unix. I have spent many hours learning about all the little challenges like repositories (and the ever growing list of them), debs...

Another trick I picked up that may help you figure out why erminig is not loading is to open an X term session and enter "erminig" in there and then tap return. When I do that a bunch of messages fly by and the app loads. If you find an error when doing that it may help you to solve why it is not loading. Once I got all pieces in place I have not had problems with it loading. It does load slowly but it has worked for me.
