I finally figured out how to install Grisbi on my N800 with OS2008. The trick is to add the Maemo Bora repository in addition to the Grisbi repository. First, open Application Manager and add the two repositories by selecting "Tools->Application catalog...":

Code:

Catalog name: Maemo Bora
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/
Distribution: bora
Components: free non-free


Catalog name: Grisbi
Web address: http://antoineschweitzer.free.fr/
Distribution: mistral
Components: main

Let the Application Manager update the package list and then QUIT the Application Manager.

Next install the packages in an xterm as root:

Code:

sudo gainroot
apt-get install grisbi

This will install libdbus and hildon-libs0 from the Maemo Bora repository as well as grisbi. Note that this will UNinstall osso-af, but from what I could see, that package only contained a couple of copyright and changelog.gz files, so I didn't think it was too important.

Grisbi isn't very easy to use IMO. You have to create a dummy account just to get US Dollars as a currency option, and I'm still trying to figure out how to get it to import more than just a couple of months (about 15 transactions) from a Quicken QIF file.
