This mixing of versions really might cause major problems..... One other thing, it is not clear to me what kind of device you have, do you have a WM5/6 device, or do you have a WM2003 device. In case you have a WM5/6 device, synce-kde will not work. If you have a wm2003 device, synce-kpm (probably) will not work, I have not tested that. > > I kept a log of sorts, perhaps you could take a look at this summary and > tell me what you think.

There are two options: patch the kernel, but the other option, creating the new kernel module is only downloading the source, making sure you have the kernel headers installed, run ./clean.sh and make and make install and you are done (really really easy) But again, you will only need this if you have a WM5/6 device. If you have a WM2003 device, don't bother with creating the kernel modules. > > Moved on to the synce-kpm 0.11 instructions and resolved initial problem > by apt-get python-distutils-extra python-setuptools > python-libxslt1,python lxml.

Currently the python bindings (pyrapi) for the rapi2 lib are part of the librapi2 package we provice. Hope the above part helps a bit, first we will get that to work, after that we will start looking at the syncing below ;) Guido Diepen > > at that point I tried > > http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithDebian > > stalled on libwbxml, I posted request for help in reply to Dr Gow's > thread libwbxml-free search engine.
