Re: [newbie] Palm HotSync over USB
I have tried using JPilot with Pilot-Link and there is even a listserve for those that use this. But it is to far advanced for me, I guess. I have tried compiling their code (CVS) as their web page and list server users explain, but having never compiled before I became lost with the error messages I was getting and did not know what to do to resolve them. I think I may be stuck waiting for the RPM. I am employed as a senior system analyst and when it comes to data manipulation I really pride myself on how fast I can cleanly manuver data. I understand awk, sed, perl, informix, oracle, and sql. But the OS side is another story that I am just begining to grasp. But there are not many good sources to help with my current goal, getting my palm to work on the USB port... This is very frustrating. Why is it so easy to get it to work on the MS side of the house?

Dan B what app are you using to sync, and what version? kpilot to the best of my knowledge does not do USB, though it was once said it would by KDE 3. i have used kpilot with a serial cradle and jpilot with USB. both work fine.

[newbie] pilot-link
I have been trying to get pilot-link correctly installed on working on my
system for a week. I also updated everything on the Mandrake side making
sure I had the most recent Kernal. Still no luck. When I tried to follow
the directions for the developer I am getting feedback that means nothing to
me:
[root@tower pilot-link-0.10.99]# ./configure

checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH
[root@tower pilot-link-0.10.99]:
I wiped out my whole system before trying this above and I even formatted my
Linux partition and started over I had so many crap files I lost track. Now,
I don't have access to CVS anymore, and other little problems. I am using
su. What have I done? What have I done wrong? Maybe I should just wait for
a release that will have software that will automatically sync a palm over
USB...

[newbie] RPM's, ok, what next? Gnome Pilot installed...
Alright, I updated my system with Gnome-Pilot as that is suppose to allow me to use my Palm with my Linux box, but the system appears to still not see it. Anyone familiar with a Palm connected to a Linux box? Dan B Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
