I don't know why the Nokia forum site decided to do their helloworld in C++ when every program that comes with the device is written in C.

You're right- it just doesn't ship with certain libraries used for C++. The command you need is 'apt-get install libhildonmm'. Always good to follow this up with apt-get clean.

I was also trying to run the program by simply typing in the name "helloworld" and I would get the erorr, "no such file or directory". I hadnt realised that I need to type the full path and filename to get it to run. Hence the reason why I was using run-standalone.sh!
You can also use a relative path, ./helloworld for example. Only two extra keystrokes that way!
