Re: Dropbox in Lenny 64bit
Tried the Ubuntu package without success.(Dependency error) Also tried the source package but no luck either. Got as far as sudo make install. but said i was not in the sudoers file? Jeff Debian by default as far as I recall doens't come with sudo set up, whereas Ubuntu uses it instead of a root account. Hence the error in the Ubuntu package. I've not tried Dropbox on Debian (use it for server only), but under Ubuntu 9.04 it works fine (as long as you initially run it with sudo to let it set up what it needs). Kelly
