When first trying to install Grisbi the system refused advising 2 other files were required, namely Hildon-Libs0 and Libdbus-1-2. I located these 2 files in the Chinook repository and so installed Chinook and successfully installed Libdbus-1-2. However, when trying to install Hildon-Libs0, the system refused, advising "conflicting application packages" then on checking the 'details' was given "conflict with application packages: osso-af".
Would appreciate any advice as how to overcome this problem and, as I am a newbie to both the N800 and Linux, would also appreciate any advice to be as simple and as detailed as possible.
Thanks

I finally figured out how to install Grisbi on my N800 with OS2008. The trick is to add the Maemo Bora repository in addition to the Grisbi repository. First, open Application Manager and add the two repositories by selecting "Tools->Application catalog...":
Let the Application Manager update the package list and then QUIT the Application Manager.

Next install the packages in an xterm as root:
This will install libdbus and hildon-libs0 from the Maemo Bora repository as well as grisbi. Note that this will UNinstall osso-af, but from what I could see, that package only contained a couple of copyright and changelog.gz files, so I didn't think it was too important.

Grisbi isn't very easy to use IMO. You have to create a dummy account just to get US Dollars as a currency option, and I'm still trying to figure out how to get it to import more than just a couple of months (about 15 transactions) from a Quicken QIF file.

I have 8 y ears of qif data that grisbi chokes on . . . we need a better solution
