Why are you using Gutsy. That is getting quite dated. deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu hardy main
points at 8.04/8.10 packages that you can install directly using apt-get or friends. And by the way to force the installation you are trying to do you can use one of the --force switched to dpkg. I think --force-overwrite will do the trick. And can I ask why you are using tinyos 1.x rather than 2.1? e On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 4:33 AM, bharat naik <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I was installing TinyOS-1.x on Ubuntu 7.10 when I encountered the > following problems: > > 1.
