Searching the forums will also turn up a lot of useful info on these apps.
Rone,

I will follow up this post with a search on Erminig. But I thought I'd mention that I tried installing Erminig this afternoon. After finding and installing GPE calender and then downloading Erminig I tried using the ap manager to install it. Ap manager then said I needed gdataclient and pysqlite to install Erminig. So I found and successfully installed gdataclient and then downloaded pysqlite. When I tried to install pysqlite, ap. manager needed Python 2.5 to install it successfully. Well, then I found Python on Maemo.org and found that it wouldn't install because of corrupt files and a server problem. So, Am I doing this right? And is there another way to download the Python 2.5 application I need?

Edit: Ok, I just successfully installed Erminig. My problem was that I didn't know what of the Python aps that was showing up in my Application manager ' browse installable applications' I was supposed to install. After some more research on this site I found that I needed Python 2.5 runtime. Using the application manager I then installed that. With that installed I could then install Pysqlite. With Pysqlite istalled then Erminig installed successfully.

Well, it just took me all afternoon to get this done. But if I can do it anyone can

Edit # 2 -- I tried to open and use Erminig. It opened OK for a while and after fiddling with it for a while, it now will not open for me. I'm guessing Erminig is missing something, but I have no idea why it won't open now when it initially did. Anyone have any ideas?



Thanks,
Neil

Sorry to hear about your challenges getting it to install. Believe me, I feel your pain. I am windows guy that had spent only a little time with unix. I have spent many hours learning about all the little challenges like repositories (and the ever growing list of them), debs...

Another trick I picked up that may help you figure out why erminig is not loading is to open an X term session and enter "erminig" in there and then tap return. When I do that a bunch of messages fly by and the app loads. If you find an error when doing that it may help you to solve why it is not loading. Once I got all pieces in place I have not had problems with it loading. It does load slowly but it has worked for me.
