I specifically downloaded gnumeric and got it to work as follows:

1. Enter red pill mode (as described above) and surf to www.maemo.org and select the application tab. Search for gnumeric. It has a clickable installation arrow.

2. Click arrow. You are prompted by the application manager to add a new catalogue for maemo.org.br. Install the new catalogue, but do not install the application yet.

3. Instead browse your installable applications. You should now see gnumeric, gnumeric-common, and gnumeric-doc available.

4. Install gnumeric-common first.

5. Then install gnumeric. The application is now ready to be run. I opened the application and it opened up fine.

More generally, when you are missing a library you can try a couple of things that I know of:

1. Enter red pill mode as described above. In the application manager pull down the menu and select Tools > Refresh application list. Then browse installable applications. One of your choices will be libs. That might contain the library you need and the application manager can take care of it for you.

2. If you can add the catalogue where the application is obtained, you can enter red pill mode. Sometimes this will allow you to see common libs or dependencies in addition to the application file. If the app will not load right away, try loading the extras first, the app may then install w/o hiccups.

3. If you go to www.maemo.org and type in the name of the library you are searching for you might find it that way.

Good luck!
