[Tinyos-help] Problems installing Tiny OS 2.0

[Atilla]

The packages installed from the Ubuntu repository , in that example,
are the requirements for the 2.0 release and the 2.0 release of
TinyOS, with all it supports by default. The next useful thing is the
environment settings script, that so far has been working quite nicely
for me and eased up my life significantly. The rest of the gude
includes version 1, Boomerang, and version 2 from CVS (installed in a
separate folder), which are completely optional. If you only care
about 2.0 stop after the environment script, or before that, if you've
got a better way of configuring it.

Unfortunatelly I can't help you with the RPMs, since there's where I
hit trouble and that's why I got Ubuntu when the repository came out.
