Hello there

About privoxy running on N900 :
It seems to run fine (at least the qtmobilehotspot embedded privoxy does its user-agent editing nicely).
However i did not test it extensively.

About running privoxy :
The default configuration file uses the current directory for finding other files. By default they are located in /opt/privoxy so try this :
Code:
root
cd /opt/privoxy
privoxy --no-daemon
And see if it starts (it should, and stay running in the terminal - kill it with ctrl + c).
You are on your own for editing the configuration file after that and setting everything up (i do not have much knowledge for that).

If you want to start privoxy in daemon mode (and not having it locked to your terminal session) :
Code:
root
cd /opt/privoxy
privoxy
Anyway, to see the command line options :
Code:
root
privoxy --help
Good luck
