Can't install preenv. Im new to X terminal :(
 
Hello, I've been trying to install preenv on my nokia n900 since Im bored playing the same old basic games. But, I have never been through the Xterminal before, I dont know much bout these, I've tried following instructions posted in many threads, but none have helped me until now. I installed the rootsh as asked, and activated the repositories as well (even if I dont really know what it actually means) but when I enter apt-get preenv it plainly says, E: package not found (something like that)

I read in a post that, repositories are not avalaible in all countries? How do I know it is available in my country?

Plz help me out :(

More easy way: go get "wgames" from Maemo Application Manager and it'll install preenv along with it.

@Boule010,

wgames and preenv are in extras-devel. Are you sure you have activated that repository?

Go to the terminal and type:
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list

you should see a line containing
deb http://respository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ fremantle free non-free

If not there (or commented out by starting with "#") then add it (or remove the "#").

Then, as root, do "apt-get update" and then "apt-get install wgames"

Download and install the deb file from here: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d....1.7_armel.deb

@Brian_7

If he does that you can already expect the next message ("when I run dpkg -i ... I get a bunch of errors about missing dependencies!").

I got them too, but exit terminal, tap blue webos icon & system asks for a task reset, i think this resolves that problem

all the dependencies of preenv are here:

http://maemo.org/packages/package_in.../preenv/0.1.7/

Pick up the ones that you need.
