Hi guys,
i'm trying to install the toolchain, but i can't understand this passage:

2) Add the following to your login script:

export PSPDEV=/usr/local/pspdev
export PATH=$PATH:$PSPDEV/bin

what's the login script?!?!!? :S

Hi! :)

The login script is .bash_profile in your home directory.
Edit the file and then give the command:

Be warned people around here could become a little nervous seeing questions as yours because we see one a day... this is a [development site] = site for [developers] = [people who knows what they are doing] = [people who are capable at least to set up a development environment]. Anyway, take this as a bonus:
If you ever messed up with a dos .bat file, you should already know autoexec.bat. So a login script is -in a similar fashion- a batch that gets executed every time you log to your linux machine/cygwin environment. The two lines you're addressing are to set two env variable. PSPDEV is not required in latest PSP SDKs, while the second is to make sure you can access sdk from any path of your system. Today's makefiles desume PSPSDK's calling "psp-config --pspsdk-path" that's in PSPDEV/bin as well.
....or you can just install heimdall's win32 precompiled pspsdk version.

As jean said before, if you want to keep using windows check this thread: http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=9812

Otherwise do a search on the forum for either cygwin tips (the toolchain works perfectly on cygwin) or if you really want to go linux then first read a debian manual about apt-get and make sure you have all the dependencies installed including a C compiler and the dev packages.
