How to install ideviceinstaller

[oneadvent]

I am still getting errors with the old version:

config.status: error: cannot find input file: `src/Makefile.in'

I tried a few things, but I cant seem to get a Make file.

Can anyone shed some light?

Gave up, found a deb:

I just tried this on iphone 4. I created a couple of folders and the folders don't show up in sbmanager. All single icons that are not part of any folder show up. Anyone else with the same issue?

Yes, I have the same issue. Do not try and use sbmanager if you have folders, it will remove them and scatter the items.

I'm sorry i am getting:

config.status: error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in'

apt-get install libtool

I am trying to compile sbmanager but I get an error when I try to "make".

libtool: Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.2.6, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.2.6b.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.6
libtool: and run autoconf again.
make[2]: *** [libsbmanager_la-device.lo] Error 63
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tokamak/Downloads/libimobiledevice-1.0.1/sbmanager/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tokamak/Downloads/libimobiledevice-1.0.1/sbmanager'
make: *** [all] Error 2


P.S: I was a bit hasty, I compiled libtool 2.2.6b and everything works!!!!!!!!!!!


Any idea?

I'm having the same problem as you, I opened a ticket upstream http://libiphone.lighthouseapp.com/p...backup-iphone4

Any help appreciated...

Same problem here...
no backup and no archiving of apps

I get the following when trying to archive an app:
Archive - Error occured: APIInternalError

Thank you!

When I launch

ideviceinstaller -l

I get

ERROR: instproxy_browse returned -3

Does anyone know what this means?

Just found it out myself: you have to unmount the iOS device from ubuntu before you launch ideviceinstaller... obviously.
