According to http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org/installation.html it should work. Maybe you can install the OS2008 package onto your tablet when you enable the red pill mode? What's the exact dependency error message you get?
Thomas, Thanks for your response.
When I tried to download using the big green arrow on http://maemo.gpodder.org/, I got an error"Unable to install. Application package is incompatible with current software", which was not too surprising as the download link is to chinook and I am running OS2007 (bora?).
I installed x-term and used ssh to switch to root - following the instructions on that page when I did the python2.5 install line it told me it "is already the newest version".
I can't see where to download the binary install file - the only references at https://garage.maemo.org/projects/gpodder/ are to the SVN - which presumably is source code. Compiling from source is a bit beyond me though - I dont even know the package name cf the python2.5 in "apt-get install python2.5-runtime". I'd have to have pretty detailed instructions I fear.

I may just wait until I update the OS seeing as everyone is going that way and its a one click download/install. The only reason I was holding onto OS2007 is that I've read that FBreader doesn't work with later versions.
Thanks again,
Vic
