I've been trying to install Ankimaemi for language learning (I do have supermemo for Palm OS which is much more limited), but I have been unable to get one dependency to install: simplejson.

When I first came across Anki, I was able to install the basic Anki .deb (anki-0.9.9.5-1_armel.deb) via Application Manager, but, when it came to Ankimaemi, Application Manager would notify me that I needed simplejson installed first.

I was unable to find simplejson easily at the gronmayer repositories list, but I did find instructions to download python-simplejson-2-1.06-1_armel.deb at:
http://ichi2.net/anki/wiki/Anki%20on%20Maemo

When I try to install simplejson using Application Manager, App Mgr just gives me an error: "Can't Install" with no other details.

After trolling the web, I came across instructions on how to use Easy Install (from Python Setuptools) to "force" simplejson to install. I installed Python Setuptools and then tried doing Easy Install using the instructions I found at:

This is what happened next:

error: No space left on device
I got the "No space left on device" error even though I'm running Diablo off of the SD card in my n810 (with 4 GB free space). I tried this again by rebooting the device but got the same result.

Can someone help me figure out how to install simplejson?

Thanks!
