Thanks, Graham - I'll do that next if what I'm doing doesn't work... Yes, it was a ARMEL target. I did create a simple program and compiled it using gcc - worked fine. I'm not re-installing the packages. At the very least, I'll have real knowledge of the scratchbox after all this...

You might want to ask on the maemo-developers list -- more developers there. Is this an ARMEL target or an I386 target? There are sometimes some scratchbox problems with getting the armel targets to actually run armel programs (which is what scratchbox is all about, of course). Most often problems with not having scratchbox installed properly but, sometimes, bugs in scratchbox, libc, etc. configure should have created a config.log which might contain an error message. You can also try creating a trivial C program, compiling it and running it yourself to see if it works. The program configure uses is (essentially): int main () { ; return 0; } Graham _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
