How to Sync your Blackberry in Linux

[NinjitsuStylee]

I would recommend you rollback to Syncevolution 0.2 instead of the latest 0.3 ........I have the same evolution-data-server package as you do and my system works fine.....I haven't touched it since I first put it together (aside from updating the cron jobs that run the sync commands for me).

The limiting factor to this whole setup is actually the Blackberry client, not the syncevolution or scheduleworld setups...I do believe that Funambol's latest versions of the Blackberry client only allows you to sync your addressbook, and not your calendar. The reason for this is that the claim the calendar has a bug.

Again, I have not yet encountered this "bug" so I couldn't tell you anything else.

You need to install the evolution-data-server-dev and libcurl3-dev

sudo apt-get install libcurl3-dev libcurl3-openssl-dev evolution-data-server-dev g++

then run ./configure again and make && make install

Good call. Thanks for helpin him out!

Great directions. I was able to get to the point of tyring to sync with scheduleworld, and ran in to the following:

Any idea where to go for help with this. I posted to the sync4j-users mailing list but haven't received a response.

Thanks,

How do I get the thing to charge?!

[NinjitsuStylee]

Haven't quite figured that out yet......I've been using the wall plug charger ever since I moved to Ubuntu.

Could I get this working with a treo 650? It listed as a compatible device on the funambol website.

Okay, my outputs are looking very similar. I'm about to burn down my house, with this box in it.

All I really wanted was to use Syncberry to sync calendar/contact/task info from my company's OWA server, but the dang thing won't do it, and the "IT" guy isn't very helpful.

Why do IT guys assume that if you're trying to do something they don't know about that you surely are trying to subvert and overthrow their universe?

And the guy at Nexthaus (SyncJe), although helpful and friendly, wasn't familiar with OWA. Geez.

Is anyone familiar with OWA that isn't afraid I'm looking for a back door into Hackville?

Hey, Stylee -

You mentioned on the first page about permissions... I know enough about permissions on Linux to be stupid. How do I go check to see if that is what my problem is?

I appear to have C++ installed as part of the G++ and GCC bases, but the ./config still tells me G++ no and GCC no... What the..?

AArrrgh...

Thanx,

Lee

Hi clcoyle.

Unfortunately I'm not exactly sure what your setup is, but what I would do is make sure you're running everything as root while trying to install (sudo).......

Also, you say you have C++ instapped as part of the G++ bases.....there is a possibility that you don't have the most current version installed. Try checking dependencies for the syncevolution package (google it i suppose, or check the website in the link i provided) and make sure you have all of those, and the dependencies for that (apt-get will be your best friend in doing that part).
