You have a permissions issue. Try those commands again prepending sudo.

sudo ls -l /opt/PalmSDK/Current/bin/

If that works then you can run palm-install the same way.

sudo /opt/PalmSDK/Current/bin/palm-install example.package.ipk

[camaroz2866]

ls: /opt/PalmSDK/Current/bin/: No such file or directory
root@castle:/# sudo ls -l /opt/PalmSDK/Current/bin/
/bin/sh: sudo: not found
root@castle:/# ls -l /opt/PalmSDK/Current/bin/
ls: /opt/PalmSDK/Current/bin/: No such file or directory
root@castle:/# ls -l /opt/PalmSDK/Current/
ls: /opt/PalmSDK/Current/: No such file or directory
root@castle:/#

The answer to your question is yes. But lets take a step back to see how you got here. Did you install the SDK? Are you having issues with the instuctions? Did you get "Connection Refused"?

All the posts in regard to camaroz's problems were specific to his system. Your solution may be much simpler.

I installed vbox
I installed Mac SDK- it never told me the destination on my mac
Since I kept getting connection refused or not found, and novaterm did nothing in terminal I searched for novacom on my mac. Also when i tried to open the emulator, it said that novacom was not running.
Found a novacomd terminal and double clicked it. This seemed to allow the emulator to run, but couldn't open new terminal to use palm commands.
Closed novacomd, opened terminal, opened novacomd and viola! palm commands ran, my device was connected! Yipee!

Seems like a pain in the **** to do everytime, but I am loving these homebrew apps!
Thanks to all you for your hard work!

Sorry if this is a "NO DUH" post, but I guess I need the basics.

ok, so after two days of me being totally ridiculously stupid and all, i finally figured it out after reading this !

thaaaaaaaaank you

so, my solution was, i resetted the pre (not sure if its necessary or not) and decided to start all over again with the upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart
SEARCHED for novacom on the MAC (duh moment) and everything else just... WORKED

thanks though

camaroz2866, don't go into novaterm to execute those commands. bitshifter1001's instructions are to be done in your Mac's terminal, and by starting novaterm first, you're logging into the phone, which doesn't have the SDK or any of the stuff loaded on your mac (which it shouldn't: that stuff stays on the computer end)
