Evince is much more powerful than the default pdf viewer coming with the N900: has search, highlighting, thumbnails, and opens djvu files which are quick to browse even for massive ebooks, and also tiff and ps and dvi.

I tried to install the os2008 version for evince, including dependencies (which were libjdvulibre15, libkpathsea3 and libpoppler-glib2), after optifying, and it starts indeed, but dies at file/open (even if it works by issuing evince filename.pdf at command prompt). So there must be something involving dialogs that it searches and doesn't find in the new environment.

I can't do much more with my skills, apart from installing in easy debian (which works btw but isn't fit to the Maemo5 GUI).

So, community, please port evince
