Dropbox on Mandriva 2009.1

by flord on Jul.11, 2009, under Mandriva

After downloading Dropbox on Mandriva 2009.1, I got en error message when starting the daemon.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "__main__dropbox__.py", line 3, in <module>
File "arch/__init__.py", line 20, in <module>
File "arch/linux/startup.py", line 11, in <module>
File "ui/wx_core.py", line 7, in <module>
File "wx/__init__.py", line 45, in <module>
File "wx/_core.py", line 4, in <module>
File "wx/_core_.py", line 14, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: XRRGetScreenResourcesCurrent

This can be fixed by downloading an experimental build from here

Just download, unpack to $HOME/.dropbox-dist
Then run $HOME/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

EDIT: Even better: download and run this script https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/43645/dbcli.py
