Can you use gdebi?

yes

The package might be corrupted or you are not allowed to open the file. Check the permissions of the file.

I tried to run it with dpkg and it failed for me also, however it was a different error. They might have just packaged it badly.

Guess it's not meant to be for now. Meh,.. come back tomorrow and poke at it. I hear the TV calling.

Pretty sure @scottalanmiller (or others) can spot the issue in a moment,.. but I'm not seeing it.

Downloading the package doesn't take long, as it's only about 2MB.

Are you sure you want to install an i386 package on armhf? I don't know the software, but it could be a native compiled binary for x86 as the name suggests. You can't run that directly on ARM (except for some emulation in between like QEMU).

Solution: Use an ARM version

I glossed over that ha.

[gjacobse]

Okay so, not likely to get running-

Ah well.. It was a thought. It's not like I don't have several other options on running that software. Just thought it would be interesting to see what I could do with it... Part of the fun - Experimentation

[aidan_walsh]

According to this article you should be able to compile it for ARM pretty easily on the Pi.

Had not found that yet....

Guess I know what I am doing for the next bit...well,.. in between trying to resolve a Windows 8.1 File Explorer issue on (gasp) another MS Surface.

[gjacobse]

My guess is that it didn't compile correctly:

pi@raspberrypi:~/wspr $ ./wspr
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "wspr.py", line 38, in <module>
    import Image, ImageTk, ImageDraw
ImportError: No module named Image

[aidan_walsh]

Missing a dependency?

[gjacobse]

@aidan_walsh said in Using dpkg to install on Raspberry Pi:

Missing a dependency?

Sudo apt-get update

was run prior to starting

[aidan_walsh]

Didi you grab the branch the article refers to or the latest?

And

sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion python2.7-dev python-numpy python-imaging-tk python-pmw libportaudio2 portaudio19-dev libsamplerate0-dev gfortran cl-fftw3 python-dev hamlib-utils

?

[gjacobse]

@aidan_walsh

Yes - that was done. Went line by line.

[gjacobse]

Going at it again... going line by line of this page:
