gpasman is a password manager, and I desparately need a piece of software like that.
See here: http://gpasman.sourceforge.net/

On my gentoo system, I installed the latest version available, 1.3.1, just to see that it worked. It seems to do what I need. (what I would really like is a general purpose encryption program that I can use to encrypt any file and protect it with a password - anyone?)

I downloaded version 1.9.3 for porting to the 770. Here are the steps required to make it compile cleanly:
- Replace "2.2" on line 3028 of configure with "2.6" so that the correct version of GTK is allowed.
- Run intltoolize -f -c prior to building

I can compile ok, and I can even run the software with the PC SDK.

I can even build a PC debian package using the supplied script. However, when I
try to install it, I get the following error messages:

Does anyone know what this means?

I had compiled maemopad as suggested in the SDK walkthrough. I checked to see
if it was using the GTK libs:

[sbox-SDK_PC: ~/maemopad/src] > ldd maemopad |grep gtk
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0xb7a4e000)

Ok, so it doesn't seem to use libgtk2.0-0 as in the gpasman error log.

When I ran the same check on gpasman:

[sbox-SDK_PC: ~/gpasman-1.9.3/src] > ldd gpasman |grep gtk
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0xb7cf2000)

I get the same thing! It also does not appear to need libgtk2.0-0.

So what am I missing here? Now the app-installer is really confused and won't remove or install the package. (I'm not a Debian user, so I'm not used to using these packages.)

Thanks for any info,
