Mini2440 ipk install error help

Simon
Dear All,
I am really struggling with installing SNMPz on my Mini2440....

Device is Mini2440
OS is QTopia Version 2.2.0

I am trying to install SNMPz (any version - have tried 2 or 3 of them)

I have downloaded the ipk file from sourceforge and have it under /root
directory on the mini2440.

When I click to install, the package manager pops up as you would expect.
I get the choose destination option and have two options:

   Root
   Udisk - which I presume is my usb stick

I choose Root as there is no point having it on the usb stick, then press
next.
I get the confirm operation screen telling me I am going to install on Root
snmpz....   So far so good....
Click Install......
It then has the blue status bar progressing across the screen and then I am
presented with an error message:

   /opt/Qtopia/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin: install
ipkg returned false for /

I have absolutely no idea what this error means and have searched for 2
days on the net for any solutions but I have been unable to find any
clues...

I would really appreciate some help with getting this to work and save my
sanity....  :-)

Kind regards

Simon
