I uninstalled it using your script,

Reinstalled

still the same thing.

Anything else you can think of?

Let's see if anyone else runs into the same problem.

The only thing i can suggest for you to try at this point is installing the version in the Extras-testing repo to see if it works. Sorry.

But just an update, I've reflashed, only installed Open SSH and rootsh then your navit script, still no luck.

Is there anything I'm missing, like something I need before I run your script?

What would be helpful is if you uninstall using my script. Then, check to see what packages it complains about when you try to install the renderer:
sudo gainroot
dpkg -i navit-graphics-qt-qpainter_0.2.0+dfsg.1-1maemo1~3478_armel.deb
(you can use tab to complete the filename after the first few characters)

If it complains about anything missing besides various Qt libraries, that's probably the culprit.

If that doesn't yield anything useful, you can install the version from the extras repo and see if it works, which would be good to know.

It would also be helpful if i got feedback from anyone else who has tried it.

Thanks again

See if it actually installs something or just tells you it's already installed. If that's not installed it's probably the answer.



Apparently garmin is disabled on chollya's build. Libgarmin hasn't been ported to maemo is what he told me.

Edit: i pointed out to him woglinde's port and he said he'll try a build against it after lunch.

It also crashes when I select a precompiled POI as destination, oh well.

Thanks anyway flandry, now we're slowly but surely solving one of the few pet peeves I have left with my N900, the lack of proper maps.
