opps, forgot to add, everything was done with sudo gainroot, and you need to use full path to run /usr/local/bin/btscanner , and have your bluetooth set on.

I've got a bummer update, for anyone who 's reading this.
I didn't notice until later, my bluetooth phone tethered connection wasn't showing up any more. I tried plenty of apt-get -f install, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade to no avail.
It would show in the list of connections, but not when searching. Removing and re-adding the phone, recreating connections, re-pairing, initiating connection with hcitool, resetting control panel to defaults, removing all bt devices and all iap connections in gconf, all failed to allow the search utility to list the connection.
So, I've reflashed, and will see if my binary still works when I copy it back over.
On the good side, I'm understanding more of linux and command use.
I'm still happy about trying the process, as I'd never compiled anything before, and wanted to try it, and btscanner.

another update, woohoo it still works after I copied it back in!
First, thank you too all of you who take the time to post answers and tips for others to search through. Also a reminder to others, practice your google-fu, nearly all the answers you need are here. For example the first link in this google search takes you to a thread I needed to fix my status bar.
Using gregrob's update, I started installing the compiler
from http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...?t=6737&page=3
I stuck all the packages in a directory called /hold in the regular filesystem, ( non-fat area )
Hooray! it compiled! On the downside, my downgrades caused osso-connectivity to be uninstalled, and I didn't have them in cache either ) I had to copy these via usb from pc to mediacard, then move them to a non fat holding folder and dpkg -i them.
( if you were to attempt these steps, you might want to consider getting them in advance. )
first I tried only
got the rest of the osso-connectivity stuff from
reboot
Yay connectivity & bluetooth selections were back in control panel, but don't have connection bar on desktop. ( bluetooth was there after I turned it on again in control panel )
I set wireless to auto, and launched web ( connected, but no status bar )
apt-get install -f said it fixed some things
got connection status back with instruction from
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...79&postcount=5
and after all the reinstalls, btscanner still works!
