I wanted to try the new google command line tool as announced on Ars today.

I am a bit of a linux newb and I'm stuck... Hoping someone might have some advice. Here is what I've done so far...

I downloaded the Googlecl.deb (that's not the exact name) here http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/

Then I ran dpkg -i on that file and got a dependency error asking for python-gdata, so I went and dowloaded that too at this site...
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/

Then after I gunzipped, and unpacked the tar, I ran setup.py like so: "python setup.py install" as per instructions in the help. When I run the install it doesn't give me any errors, but I didn't get a sense that the installer actually installed it... it finishes with some info file.

Well after finishing that, I go back and try to dpkg -i the original googlecl.deb file and I get a message telling me that python-gdata still isn't installed.

Any ideas? I figured some of you would be curious enough to try this out.

Thanks!
