you don't have to copy libgnokii.so.2.0.5 to /var/lib/install/usr/lib AND /usr/lib
/usr/lib is already in the search path for libraries so it might be easier
or you can user /var/lib... and modify your libray search path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH)

If you can use it from xterm and not from the menu it means that there's a problem with the com.nokia.phoneLink.service file ... I'll check it out & let you know

O Fred

a 0.1a deb that sould work better ...
no icon still though

O Fred

PS with icon

I tried the new .deb... I unistalled the old package, and installed the new one. I still see the same behavior as before trying to launch it from the "extras" menu. However now I cannot start it from the console either. I get this error:

/var/lib/install/usr/bin/phonelink: error while loading shared libraries: libsqllite.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've looked around, re-installed the libSqlLite package that was installed with GPE-Contacts. Still no luck though...

I have a Motorola v330, the "gnokii --identify" does not find it... I suppose the motorola phones are not supported by gnokii... too bad, I really love the idea to have such an application.

Thank's fredoll

The basic functionality and idea is great. Still a bit tricky to get to work but Source4's instructions are good. I got exactly the same results as Source4, can start the old version with xterm, but the new version doesn't start.

Are you planning to implement other features to Phonelink?

The link has 0.1b version not 0.1a, is this the reason that it doesn't start?

does gpe-* stuff work on your 770 ?
In xterm can you try "ldd /var/lib/install/usr/bin/phonelink" ?
what does it show ?
the 0.1b should be the same as the 0.1a except that the icon is displayed ...
Sorry for the bother ...
It works on my 770 but then I installed ~30 versions on it ...
Waiting for your feedback to try & get something that works

O Fred

I'll give "ldd" a whirl this afternoon/evening. I'd try it now, but the 770 is at home charging up for the weekend.

all the GPE-* apps will run and launch... I moved the libsqllight lib into /usr/lib and re-ran ldconfig... now phonelink is looking for libical?

Don't worry about the bother, I know how development goes (I'm a Windows dev... shhhhh ;-). I'm just glad somebody is working on this kind of app! I'm more then happy to be a lab rat!

if you want to be sure that all libs in var/install/usr/lib are known : add this path to /etc/ld.so.conf then run ldconfig et voila
I think libical is used by gnokii & can bi find in /usr/lib ...
I have some problem with gnokii & my 6230i so I try to work on that front too and the gnokii team is very helpfull
Glad to work with open source & open minded people !

I added /var/lib/install/usr/lib as last row in /etc/ld.so.conf and ran /sbin/ldconfig command. Still 0.1b version refuses to start; when try to start from xterm, complains that libical.so.0 is not found.

ldd /var/lib/install/usr/bin/phonelink command shows links to various libraries, however there is one line indicating:
libical.so.0 => not found

0.1 version starts nicely from xterm, but not from the Extras menu.

btw 0.1 shows the icon (after trying 0.1b version that didn't work ;-)

/var/lib/install/usr/bin/gnokii --identify and gpe-* stuff works.

Should the gnokii be installed in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin as there is no .deb for gnokii and /var/lib/install/usr path is for .deb packages??
