Do not enough cash to buy a house? You should not worry, just because it's available to take the credit loans to resolve all the problems. Thus get a bank loan to buy everything you require.

I found a little (big) workaround via VirtualBox under CentOS within an XP-VM. If you are able to read or translate German, this one might help you: http://perelandra.wordpress.com/2009/08/06/netzlaufwerk-als-lokale-festplatte-ausgeben/

Hi, I’m trying to install DropBox 0-6-1 on Centos 5.3 x86_64 reading your guide but the configure script exit after this error:

checking for pygtk… Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 6, in ?
TypeError: ’str’ object is not callable
no
configure: error: couldn’t find pygtk

This is the result of -> rpm -qa |grep pygtk
pygtk2-codegen-2.10.1-12.el5
pygtk2-devel-2.10.1-12.el5
pygtk2-libglade-2.10.1-12.el5
pygtk2-devel-2.10.1-12.el5
pygtk2-2.10.1-12.el5

Any suggestion?
Thanks

Thank for this “How to”. Work fine on my Fedora 8.

I’ve heard that you can run the dropbox daemon (which is statically linked) on a server. Maybe you could do the same for your users? You would forgo the very nice nautilus integration, but it should still sync the files.

So I just got DropBox installed and working in Fedora 8, which also does not have the required glib in the rpm repository.

I also tried the compile from source method and clearly hit the snag that my glib wasn’t up-to-date.

I went and just compiled the newest glib from source, which I found here:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2008-September/msg00101.html

After installing that, I needed to install the libnotify-devel from yum install libnotify-devel, which carried my dependency just fine.

Its running now on my machine, so hopefully that helps.

Thanks for this article. At last I have it working on my CentOS 5.2 test box editing the file ./src/nautilus-dropbox-hooks.c and changing g_timeout_add_seconds to g_timeout_add and the parameter 1 to 1000. Look: http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/2.18/glib-The-Main-Event-Loop.html

Recompile and you should have it working.
