Yes, GIT is installed. I belive that it is not repo it self but that lib32readline5-dev is related to the problem. As far as I understand it is needed if you run on a AMD 64 bit arch but I'm running Virtualbox + Ubuntu on my Intel Centrino Duo laptop so I'm a bit confused. When looking in /proc/cpuinfo it states: - model: 15 - model name: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU [email protected] - stepping: 2 - cpuid level: 2 - clflush size: 64
When running $sudo apt-get install lib32readline5-dev it say there is no such package, but http://packages.ubuntu.com states differently. Any idea on how to fix this? /dude On Jan 22, 2:12 am, Jean-Baptiste Queru <[email protected]> wrote: > This would be a good question to the repo-discuss mailing list, or > android-platform, so that android-developers can stay focused on > helping people who are developing applications with the SDK. > > Do you have git installed? > > JBQ > > > > > > On Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 1:58 PM, PerCentage <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I am trying to download the android source onto a new ubuntu 8.10 > > installation on a x86 machine.
