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

[From: Avishek_Sharma]

Hi,
  Made some progress(I hope so) after receiving your suggestions.(I have pasted whatever problem I was having below in case someone's reading it for the first time)

I logged in as 'muser' and then in the  terminal window I typed 'su' and when asked for the password,I entered the system password which I used while logging in.

Then,navigated to /scratchbox and then typed /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl start

The message displayed is--

Starting scratchbox:- binfmt_misc,mount

[root at ....]: $



If I login as 'root' and after navigating to /scratchbox type /scrtachbox/sbin/sbox_ctl start,I get the same message as above.



so,is that it(is scratchbox installed now)? or what I am thinking as improvement is actually some message about missing components or something worse :)



I haven't yet extracted the devkits and toolchains till now.I guess, if things are ok,all I have to do is extract them into the scratchbox folder in '/'.

Please guide me.

Thanks for all the advice.

regards,Avi

 This is what I had done(when I got an error message :Scratchbox is not properly setup)
 1. Extracted scratchbox-core-1.0.8-i386.tar.tar to '/' (the folder is saved by the name 'scratchbox' in '/')
 2.Extracted contents of scratchbox-libs-1.0.8-i386.tar.tar to 'scratchbox' (the folder in '/')
 3. in Terminal:
     $cd /scratchbox
     $/scratchbox/run_me_first.sh
      Do you want to use sudo mode?[yes/no] (no) :- no
      Give the name of the scratchbox group(sbox):- (I didn't enter any  name,clicked 'enter')
      The group 'sbox' doesn't exist.Would you like to create the group 'sbox'? [yes/no] (yes) :- yes
   Creating group 'sbox'
   Stopping scratchbox:umount,binfmt_misc
   Starting scratchbox:binfmt_misc,mount
   Now you should add one or more users with /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser
   $/scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser  muser
     Add user 'muser' to group 'sbox'?[yes/no] (yes):-yes
     Scratchbox user account for 'muser'  added.
After completing this stage,I rebooted the system and logged in as 'muser'
I navigated to /scratchbox and then typed 'groups' in the terminal window
and, I was shown the group 'sbox' as the documentation says.
But,when I type /scratchbox/login in the terminal window,I get the message -
ERROR:Scratchbox not set up properly.
(If i login as 'root' after rebooting and maneouvre to /scratchbox,I can't see the group 'sbox' when I  type 'groups' in the terminal window)

Reading and understanding "man sudo" might be helpful.

Other option: Run "su", enter your root password, go to your scratchbox
directory, run the command itself (without sudo involved).
