<div>Here is how to install PC Connectivity (the "Host part") on a 64bit Linux Box.<br />
<br />
== Precondition ==<br />
* A Linux Box with Debian/Ubuntu at 64bit.<br />
* You need to be a bit more than a newbie: I'm not going to describe you what to do command by command.<br />
<br />
== Step 1: The easy part ==<br />
<br />
Follow the instructions on [http://pc-connectivity.garage.maemo.org/2nd_edition/installation.html the PC connectivity install page] to install the "Tablet part"<br />
<br />
<br />
== Step 2: The not so easy part ==<br />
<br />
If you try to add the repository for the "Host part" to your <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> and run <code>$ sudo apt-get update</code>, you will see the problem. Your Linux box is naturally looking for the 64bit packages, which are not available.<br />
<br />
But your machine can actually run 32bit code: you just need some more "hand work".<br />
<br />
== Step 3: Looks like I'm helping you ==<br />
<br />
# Install <code>filezilla</code>, <code>ssh</code>, <code>ia32-libs</code>, <code>sbrsh</code>, and <code>sbrshd</code><br />
# Download from [http://pc-connectivity.garage.maemo.org/repository/pool/intrepid/main/ the PC connectivity repository]: <code>host-pc-connectivity_0.6_all.deb ssh-key-exchange_0.1_all.deb</code><br />
# Install one by one the files you just downloaded with <code>dpkg -i --force-architecture PACKAGE_FILENAME</code><br />
<br />
=== Step 4: You're on your own ===<br />
<br />
100% of the time what will happen is that you are going to receive messages about unfulfilled dependencies. '''DON'T PANIC''': install what you are asked and install the package again. If you're experiencing issues, you may want to install the 32-bit library counterparts of the original dependencies.<br />
<br />
Do this "try and catch" process, until you don't have any other error and everything installs fine.<br />
<br />
Since "''dependencies resolution''" depends on what you already have installed on your machine, following the dependency chain is something you'll need to do for yourself.<br />
<br />
Enjoy! ;-)<br />
