Install Dropbox on Acer Aspire One running MeeGo

[03-Nov-2010] Updated for Meego 1.1,  yum isn't included with Meego 1.1, changed procedure to use zypper instead. I managed to install Dropbox on my Acer Aspire One AOA110 running MeeGo Netbook Edition. These are the steps that worked for me. 1. Download the Dropbox source code bundle from http://dropbox.com ,   nautilus-dropbox.0.6.4.tar.bz2 2. Extract the source files $ cd Downloads $ tar -xjvf nautilus-dropbox.0.6.4.tar.bz2 $ cd nautilus-dropbox.0.6.4 3. Install the pre-requisit dependencies $ sudo zypper install gcc make $ sudo zypper install  nautilus-devel  docutils 4. Compile the Dropbox source (see the README files for details) $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install 5. Run the Dropbox installation $ dropbox start -i follow the prompts to complete the install 6. Set Dropbox to autostart $ dropbox autostart y
