Just a question - why did you buy a N900 if you don't have internet connectivity? It's an internet tablet.
How did you download the .debs you want to install? If you can download debs, surely you've got an internet.

Installing .debs and their dependencies manually is an intricate process, whether on the N900 or any other debian-based PC.

Anyway, if you're manually modifying files in /lib or /usr/lib etc., please run ldconfig afterwards. You can find missing dependencies using the ldd command (if that's installed on the n900 - I've not checked).
For example, ldd /usr/bin/gamebinary

But really - you will make your life a whole lot easier if you get your N900 on the internet. Even if you use 3G, a lot of the apps aren't very big, so shouldn't hurt your monthly download quota that much.

Methinks this n0ak is a troll.

n0ak, if you're not a troll, then you're likely to get better help if you:

a) read this: http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
b) pick any one app that you're trying to install, and give the actual commands you're using and the actual error messages that you're getting (and show that you are unable to resolve them even after google search)
c) stop it with the silly exclamation points already

A. Take it back and get a refund as you dont know how to use it and if you dont have internet on it then its useless.

B. Get internet on it or use WiFi and use app manager like everyone else.

Help me guys !!!

I did all these steps !!

Let’s start by downloading the files (I will assume that you’ve downloaded it like me in a folder called Downloads inside Documents)

mypaint_0.7.1-2maemo4_armel.deb

mypaint-data_0.7.1-2maemo4_all.deb

Then you need root access (I used gainroot as usual) and the Extra-Devel repository, then do the following:

Open a X Terminal and type

sudo gainroot

apt-get install libblas3gf liblapack3gf pymaemo-optify python-numpy

(it’s here that it gets messy)

cd /usr/lib/

ln -s libblas.so.3gf libblas.so

ln -s liblapack.so.3gf.0 liblapack.so


and when i do this step :
apt-get install libblas3gf liblapack3gf pymaemo-optify python-numpy!! it says done for all the other files but not for libblas3gf - file not found!!
help me please !!!
you did what?!?!?

You really should get any Internet connection for your N900 or you're not going to enjoy it. Really.
