section.

Hello All:

I have seen some posts on other lists about using the Sony Clie
w/jpilot
under SuSE 8.1.  Since I have a Sony Clie T615C and set it up under
SuSE
8.1 I am posting how I did it:

>From a clean install of SuSE 8.1

1. You will pilot-link 0.11.3 or greater from www.pilot-link.org.
2. You should download the latest jpilot (0.99.3) from www.jpilot.org.
   I used the tarball:  jpilot-0.99.3.tgz
3. make sure the following libraries are installed:
   gtk
   gtk-devel
   openssl
   openssl-devel
3. untar the pilot-link
4. cd the pilok-link dir, in my case /home/keith/pilot-link-0.11.5 and
   configure using --prefix=/usr
5. run make, make install
6. untar jpilot
7. cd jpilot dir, in my case /home/keith/jpilot-0.99.3
8. run sh ./autogen.sh, then make, then make install
9. run jpilot and set preferences:
   for my serial port, I used /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 and baud rate of 115200

Now it can be tricky syncing, in the past I would push the sync button
on
my Clie then clicked sync on jpilot. What I have found is psuh the sync
button on the clie, wait until you hear the beep from your pc
signifying
recognition of the usb, then click the sync button in jpilot and you
should be synced!!

HTH.  Obviously, YMMV if you have customized your box.

Best Regards,
