What you are trying to do is similar to trying to put the engine of a VW Golf car into a Hummer Alpha1.

The details of the Repositories which are used with the Nokia 770 is very different from those used by Nokia N800. Also the two ITs have very different OSes. So, installing a ' Gaim ' program ( and its associated Repositories ) created specifically for Nokia 770 need not necessarily work well on the N800.

Please search this Forum and learn about the different Repositories and how to install / handle / manipulate them. Also, try to understand the difference between the various OSes available for the two ITs. The details as of how to install Gaim on Nokia 770 and Nokia N800 are also mentioned here numerous times.
