ok, just found out what your linpus is based on - won't go technical cause :-
A - it's technical
B - prolly easier not too
C - I'll sound like more of a geek than I am :$
Ok, to progress and hopefully get you sorted out.....
1. there are some other stuff you need before installing nicotine/ nicotine plus. these are - GTK+, Python, PythonGTK and a few others Python modules.
2. Oh also i noticed that nicotine is available via unstable/testing repositories (geek talk, sorry) - it's just a few lines you need to setup as resource points.
3. Em, is it ok to pm yah? it's maybe gonna take a little bit of time, cause linux with soulseek ain't as straight forward as doing it via windows etc.
here to try and help - if I can
