I have had this problem and posted about it in this thread: http://forums.precentral.net/web-os-...lp-please.html

It is also discussed in posts #392 and 393 in this thread: http://forums.precentral.net/web-os-...ll-method.html

If you find you can add more homebrew apps only after deleting some homebrew apps, then you have this problem. I have only been able to install 30-32 homebrew apps as a result (deleting app catalog apps doesn't seem to help). In this thread someone was looking at repartitioning the location where homebrew installs and doing some linux programming/rooting stuff (over my head) to fix the problem: http://forums.precentral.net/webos-a...gh-memory.html

I have seen posts about this problem in multiple different threads here, but it does not seem to have gotten a whole lot of attention (yet). Hopefully someone can come up with a solution to this problem soon. Sounds like changing the directory into which homebrew apps install may be necessary.

EDIT: After having the above-mentioned problems with homebrew apps for the last 3 days, I was just able to install 2 out of 3 additional apps tonight without deleting anything. The last app wouldn't install at first, but after persistently trying 4 times, it suddenly decided to appear in my launcher. After the first 3 attempts, when it was not visible in the launcher, it did not come up on a universal search or on the Pre's software list.

I have no idea why apps are suddenly installing again, as I have made no changes to my Pre recently. ???

EDIT #2: OK, I seem to have maxed out again but this time at 37 homebrew apps and not 31-32. I failed to mention that while no error message seems to appear in the PreBrew install window, a "FAILED_NOT_ENOUGH_INSTALL_SPACE" error appears during the old fashioned palm-install.bat method.
