Hello,

I'm following installation steps found on this page: http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...K_Installation

under: Installing Maemo 5 SDK on x86-32 Debian based distribution

When i reached this step:

$ sudo chmod +x ./maemo-sdk-install_5.0.sh
$ ./maemo-sdk-install_5.0.sh

I get the following error:

Checking for prerequisites
--------------------------

wget tool in path... /usr/bin/wget
Checking for dpkg tool in path... /usr/bin/dpkg
Running outside of scratchbox... yes
Script not run as user root... yes
Scratchbox installation found... yes
Scratchbox home directory... no
E: Scratchbox directory for user not present.
E: Add user with '/scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser th3hate'.
E: Specify an alternative installation path using '-s PATH' option.

Any idea how to solve it?

The step before that sets up the sbox user group and adds you to it. However you either need to log out and back in OR 'newgrp sbox' for the change to be available to your user.

You don't need to be root to newgrp.

Maybe try log out and log back in and pick up the installation where you left off?

'/scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser YOUR_USERNAME'

as per the original log should work where YOUR_USERNAME is you.

assumes the group exists already and will create the /home directory in scratchbox for you.

Hang in there, it'll happen. Maybe go back a few steps and double check you are following the instructions to the letter. I've done the install several times and always get there in the end.

try going back to the scratchbox set up and taking it from there.

'sudo ./maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0.sh -u USER'

again replace USER with your username (th3hate)

have you changed directory (or deleted the installer) since you first ran it.

'ls' in the current directory will show if it's there or not (as I'm sure you know).

if not move to the directory where you downloaded it and try again.
