It says unable to install libxpm4, incompatible application package.
Any idea?

Also I have a problem with the Ur-quan masters. Even if I place the content into media/mmc2/uqm/content/packages, it won't load, saying the content is in the wrong place.

Thanks!

any idea? Libxpm4 is neededd in other for the virtual keyboard to work.

Apparently many Chinook specific Python libraries can't be installed while running Diablo. A Diablo Python package is not ready yet.

You should try installing it in red-pill mode.

I installed it successfully, and haven't seen anything out of the ordinary so far. But of course, you might want to wait for a Diablo version to be sure.

thanks it worked, although it gives me a strange error msg I don't understand in Xterm.

OK, stupid newbie here, attempting to install libxpm4.

I've got an N810 with Diablo. I need libxpm4 in order to install xkbd.

On my N810, I use the browser to go to http://www.gronmayer.com/it/
I click the OS2008 button, type libxpm into the search box and click "Search"

It shows two entries, one for "Maemo Chinook" and the other for "Maemo diablo/sdk". I click the green "click to install!" arrow associated with Diablo.

The application manager launches, it tells me it is searching for updates, and then sits there. "Maemo diablo/sdk" appears to have been added to the application manager's list of repositories. However, libxpm4 does not appear to have been downloaded. Specifically, if I try to install xkbd, it tells me it cannot install because libxpm4 is absent.

Please have pity on a clueless newbie and tell me what I am doing wrong.

Try with apt-get install libxpm4 in xterm. It should be in main repo.

Or directly from here:
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/dia...e/libx/libxpm/

Thank you for your help, but it appears that it just ain't my day.

I went to http://repository.maemo.org/pool/dia...e/libx/libxpm/
and clicked on
libxpm4_3.5.6-2osso1_armel.deb

Blasted application manager informed me that it could not install it because it was an "incompatible application." Usually there is a "click for more details" button in the dialog, but it was absent from this dialog.

OS2008 version 4.2008.30-1 is Diablo, is it not? That's what my tablet's control panel about product applet tells me.

I'm not sure what else could be causing the problem.

Yeah, some application manager precautions - should be installed in red pill mode or through apt-get. In red pill you will probably see the package directly in app manager. Don't forget to switch it off after that.

Thanks! Red pill did the trick.
I probably should have done sudo apt-get, but I didn't feel like messing with xterm.

Thanks again
