I have just setup new Ubuntu 10.04 box for DVSDK installations. When I went to install the software for the OMAP-L138 I get an error that fakeroot is needed to be able to run the installer.
The recommended solution was to use "sudo apt-get install fakeroot" to install the package. Lucky me, that failed as well:
Reading package lists ... Done.
Building dependency tree
Reading state information ... Done
E: couldn't find package fakeroot.
Luckily a colleague who knows a lot more about Linux than I do suggested updating apt-get first. After the apt-get update was completed, the fakeroot installation completed successfully.
I think the directions on web page: http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/dvsdk/DVSDK_4_00/latest/index_FDS.html be updated to clarify this issue. I assume that there will be other Linux newbies who won't be a fortunate as I am to have knowledgeable Linux colleague handy.
Regards.
