How do I install Hotplug?

[theAdmiral]

Hello to Everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!

I would like to install Hotplug. I read the instructions in the Readme and ran

#make install

An error returned stating the following:

/usr/bin/install -c -D sbin/hotplug /sbin/hotplug
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `sbin/hotplug': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1

What shall I do

So where did you get the app from?

I would be tempted to try a .deb which is much easier to install. (Right click on the .deb and choose install with GDebi)

Not a *buntu .deb but a Debian .deb from http://packages.debian.org/etch/hotplug

Package hotplug is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
udev module-init-tools
E: Package hotplug has no installation candidate

So, within Intrepid, the package hotplug has been replaced by udev and module-init-tools, and these are already installed.

What are you trying to accomplish? If it's getting USB devices to automount, are those devices formatted as fat32 (vfat) and previously used in Windoze? If yes, we can assist in getting them to both automount and to be read/writable by you as the user.

Hi, Snowhog--

Thanks for replying.

I am trying to use my Creative Zen MicroPhoto with my Linux box. I have been exposed to a couple of different alternatives. The first one that I came across can be found at the following link:

http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum...ad.php?t=32817

When I encountered difficulty with the first, I went into the chat room specified at that link above, where ZenChick said she would be, to look for her. Didn't find her, but somebody said I should try Gnomad. So I have been searching around and finding different things and came across a sloppy step-by-step for installing Gnomad at the Gnomad site. Hence, I find myself here at this present time.

As far as trying to change permissions on /media/MyZen/, I am getting an error about "cannot access /media/MyZen: Transport endpoint is not connected." Any ideas?

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
