I've installed several click-and-go applications on my N800 OS2008. Some others, I've had a lot of trouble.

I tried to install rtcomm from the website, but it says I am missing libraries. I can't seem to find them anywhere. Supposedly they are part of the Chinook set, but when I find that and try to install, I just get a text file that doesn't execute. What am I doing wrong?

I'm now trying to install Maemo Mapper, from https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_...elease_id=1203. Half way down the page, there are two links for OS2008. The first one is the .deb file. I click that one, and the file tries to load, but terminates because I don't have a required library.

The next link is a tar.gz file. If I click that, the system doesn't have an application to open it. Does that link contain the needed libraries? If so, how do I open and install them?
