I am trying to download the android source onto a new ubuntu 8.10
installation on a x86 machine. All the steps worked fine until I tried
to init the repo client. I get the following...
ja...@james-desktop:~/mydroid$ repo init -u
git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/james/bin/repo", line 590, in <module>
main(sys.argv[1:])
File "/home/james/bin/repo", line 557, in main
_Init(args)

proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

errread, errwrite)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 1153, in
_execute_child
raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
I can't find anyone else having such an repo error. I did find an
obscure message that said the python error might be due to a missing
readline module. I tried to install lib32readline5-dev as in the
download instructions and got the following error
ja...@james-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install lib32readline5-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package lib32readline5-dev
Any ideas anybody? I am somewhat new to linux but have had a fair
amount of unix experience in the past.
