Hey, i am also getting this error;

# ldd ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
/home/user/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4′ not found (required by /home/user/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd)

I tried;
CTRL+ALT+T, sudo synaptic, choose “Mark all upgrades”, Apply

And that download a heap of stuff and filled my 701’s SSD and i could no longer boot and had to do a factory reset…

Is there no way to get this working on a 701?

I’ve been trying all ways to install it on eeepc with xandros original and it will not work: a prerequisite glibc 2.4 is missing ! xandros only supports 2.3.6 and there is no easy way to upgrade.

also been trying to build it: not easy: dependencies would require you to install gnome and devel libs, but not followed to the end this option.

tried wine (where picasa works): no success in installing. Neither dropbox portable would install (require .net).

actually I’m left with no option than using web U/I

My Linux understanding is absolutely zilch, so I’m afraid that all went a bit over my head. How do I unpack or move a file? Do I just type in the stuff in brackets? Help!

I got it to install perfectly, but I’m having trouble getting it to sync on startup. I didnt have the /.icewm folder, so I created it. Where do I go from there?

Hi there!
I’ve had the same problems as described above (e.g.: glib missing and 2nd time no login-menu). I’d appreciate if one of you found a solution he’d post it here. I already been googling up and down the net for several hours. Darned. Greetz

Feradz, I did all the updates and it didn’t work for me. What was your filename called? I think dropbox upgraded their version to one that isn’t compatible with the　Xandros OS. Alternatively, could you post your exact copy somewhere? Perhaps your version is the only ones that work with the EEEPC.

well – for me there are still some obstacles …..

“….a hidden directory with name .dropbox-dist will be created move this directory to your home directory” – when I did that, I cannot see it, although it must be there. So I use the .dropbox-dist on drive D: where it was originally saved and try to run dropboxd inside .dropbox-dist. – “A login dialog box will appear.” – not really: when I double-click “dropboxd” a menu opens and I am asked: “how shall I run this application?”
I tried to install the running script in terminal mode but I guess that failed too.
And after using sudo synaptic one package “usb storage applet” cannot be installed any more.
Linux seems to be really complicated …..
I use a eeePC model 4G (701) with the pre-installed Linux.
