[maemo-developers] need help installing maemo on fedora 8

[From: Avishek_Sharma]

Hello,
thanks for the prompt reply.
I haven't  extracted the devkits and toolchains.....only extracted scratchbox-core and  scratchbox-libs.
(first extracted scratchbox -core in '/' (saved as 'scratchbox' )and then extracted scratchbox-libs into the 'scratchbox' folder in '/").

Do,I need to extract the toolchains and devkits into the scratchbox folder in '/'?

I did reboot the system as the documentation suggested and was trying to start 'scratchbox' as per the document's procedure.But, it showed that error:scratchbox not properly setup.
Should I try out 'sudo /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl start' instead of '/scratchbox/login' (will give that a shot)
Thanks once more for your help.If you have a simpler/clearer procedure for installation,do advice.
regards,
Avi

Have you extracted also the devkits and toolchains?

After a boot you need to start Scratchbox.

When it's installed from debian packages, it's done "automatically".
When installing from tarballs you need to start it manually:

sudo /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl start
