Not that I think it makes any difference, but I'm using: debian-m5-v3e.img.ext2

Worth a shot. I'll post back with results

Progress!

I am now 90% sure that it was an overheating problem. Before trying the v3e image (I'm on v3d) I painstakingly installed each dependency 1 by 1 and success!

However, I am left with 2 problems.

1. It seems that this is an old version of the IDE, as there is no option for the model that I have bought, the Arduino Uno. However, it may work with it anyway as I have never used an Arduino before and mine isn't arriving now until January (thank you very much snow).

2. About 30% of the time I launch the program, whether from chroot or lxde, I am greeted with the following java error:
Code:
[root@deb-m5v3d: /]arduino
#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  Internal Error (os_linux_zero.cpp:236), pid=2658, tid=1751823472
#  Error: caught unhandled signal 4
#
# JRE version: 6.0_18-b18
# Java VM: OpenJDK Zero VM (14.0-b16 mixed mode linux-arm )
# Derivative: IcedTea6 1.8.3
# Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid), package 6b18-1.8.3-2
# An error report file with more information is saved as:
# /usr/share/arduino/hs_err_pid2658.log
#
# If you would like to submit a bug report, please include
# instructions how to reproduce the bug and visit:
#   http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla
#
/usr/bin/arduino: line 8:  2658 Aborted                 java -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -jar /usr/share/arduino/arduino.jar
This has also happened a few times while the program is running.

If anyone could help me overcome this last hurdle it would be awesome and I would be willing to throw a parade for them

EDIT: I found out I need to have version 0021 to work with my board, but the only version in the repo is 0018. I tried the debian and ubuntu natty armel debs but they run almost unbearably slowly and probably won't work anyway.

Any suggestions as to how I can compile them myself? I tried the "git" installation as instructed on the Arduino web site, but I recieve the above java error after a few seconds of compiling.

Just to add my 2c, I've been having the exact same said problems, albeit not with installing arduino specifically. Like when installing build-essential my phone crashed about halfway through leaving a broken install. Then I disabled swappolube and it worked, but still other larger packages crashed during install. I noticed the N900 getting warm during install. Maybe that's the problem. Heat and overloaded i/o. I guess some people's N900s are more stable than others given this stress. Odd the regular app installer shows no issues. I'm going to try installing the packages 1 by 1 to see if that works.

EDIT:

Yes, installing packages 1 by 1 seems to work. However, for some reason the "Close Easy Debian" script crashes. Hopefully a reboot will fix the problem.

Good to know my N900 isnt faulty anyway. This is the only situation where it seems to overheat. It gets pretty warm when playing some n64 games while overclocked but it has never crashed from it.

Never did get a usable version of the 0021 ide working though, so if anyone could help that would be great.
