None of the menu items work for me. However, after going through the directory creation and permissions rigmarole, I was able to launch info_on_tap and spendit from an xterm prompt. There are a bunch of warnings about the theme not finding some background image, but you get to see the apps.

That's about it, though : in both of them, a "New" button (to create a new table in one, a new expense in the other... I think :-) don't do anything, so I didn't get any further...

I was in touch with the author earlier because his hand-made .debs didn't work (pointed him to PyPackager :-), I've also reported these problems.
