Re: A special thank-you for the developers of Tear
 

Thank you for this, but I can't install libidn11. I get that libwebkitgtk-1.0 depends on libicu38, but it won't be installed. When I try the advised 'apt-get -f install' I'm told that /var/cache/apt/archives is out of space. I've run 'clean', and even deleted the subdirectory 'partial' and created it again, so /var/cache/apt/archives is empty, but I get the same errors.

I have enabled every repository at gronmayer.com/it due to too many unmet dependencies in the past. Could that be the issue? Should I disable most of them?

Thanks.

[edit] I worked it out. Just had too much installed. I'm still learning how to use this thing. Thanks.

@bunanson: From what I understand, different versions of the web-kit library have different levels of acid test compliance, due to the software being under active development. At this point, it's probably best to just wait for a stable release and hope that scores 100/100.

I have gotten this app to install successfully on a couple of my bootable partitions (I have a triple-booting setup; flash plus two partitions on an internal on an N800). Unfortunately when I go to run it, nada. Just sits there. Is there something I could have installed that conflicts with it? I do have a lot installed on one partition, but not much on the other one (rarely use it). I mostly just have things like the pybattery meter, maemo mapper, battlegweled, fbreader, maemo recorder, knips, gpe calendar, gparted, emelfm2, advanced backlight, and one other thing installed. (Okay, maybe I do have a lot installed on here)

I think there is a dependency. As root, try:

apt-get install libpcre3

if that doesn't work, enable red pill mode and try installing libpcre3 through app manager (I used this last method, I think.)

Re: A special thank-you for the developers of Tear
 

Got to investigate thiss libpcre issue.

Re: A special thank-you for the developers of Tear
 

That worked. Didn't need red pill. Just apt-get install it. Thanks. Very nice browser fixes some issues I had with MicroB not loading some webpages right and zooming in. This loads em right!

Re: A special thank-you for the developers of Tear
 

Ya, I had to install libpcre3 as well. It is like a guessing game with these libraries since there is no tab autocompletion on the tablets and no GUI package manager, so you have to just keep typing stuff in until you get lucky and get the correct package name.

Re: A special thank-you for the developers of Tear
 

The latest version of Tear has real dependencies on libpcre3, so you can see it :)

Re: A special thank-you for the developers of Tear
 

yes, but it is on libpcre.so.3, which is different from the package name.

apt-cache search is prettty cool... :)
