<div>Hi Ralph,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you for your response.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The binaries that I downloaded from the the maemo site had the ".deb" extension so I assumed they could be installed by the application installer.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>How would I go about installing them by hand as root?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you.<br><br> </div>

When I try to install them I get another error message saying "Component already installed" A find command on the whole directory did not yield any gc* files however.
<br><br>This is a spurious error. The 770 image doesn't have a real package<br>manager; just the Application Installer which puts things in a sandbox,<br>so you can't install maemo packages directly (though you can install
<br>them by hand as root). You're supposed to create a new flash image and<br>replace the whole filesystem.<br><br>HTH,<br>-r<br></blockquote></div><br>
