[maemo-developers] Installing scratchbox on Fedora 8: PERMISSION PROBLEMS

[From: Vladislav Grinchenko]

Looks like you need to install targets in addition to scratchbox itself.
You need at least i386, but most likely would need ARMEL to build native
binaries. If you have them installed, run 'sb-menu' and select a target.
Selecting a target configures scratchbox by making a number of symbolic
links. 

I run maemo SDK on Fedoras since day one with no problems so far.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
