Well, short explanation would be Because Maemo OS2006 uses EABI Here is the quote from http://www.maemo.org/downloads/releases.html: Maemo 2.0 introduces a major binary break due to the adoption of EABI toolchain and several API changes requiring porting of all existing maemo 1.1 applications to maemo 2.0 And.more detailed explanation: http://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort -- Best regards, Ed ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Copy it to your 770. Or how can i make it work. I copied on my 770 and it dosn´t work. I always get a failure xskat not found. I started it from xterm. If you've got it in your home directory or some other non-standard place, you need to give the full path. Probably, you'll get an error that xskat doesn't find a suitable font. In that case, get the xlsfont binary from the xlsfont Debian package, and run it on your 770. It will print a list of fonts available on your 770. Choose one and call xskat with the option -font like this: xskat -font name_of_your_font That should work. See the xskat manpage for details.

Alternatively you could compile and run the xlsfonts code in scratchbox, or write your own little program to call XListFonts and display the results.

Hi Neil, thanks for that hint, that did the trick. The xlsfonts arm binary from Debian sarge runs well on the 770. Using one of the fonts it lists, xskat works without problems.

Hi, I just noticed that my favourite card game xskat (probably only played in Germany) could possibly run on the 770 without modifications. I extracted the xskat binary from the -arm Debian package and copied it to the 770. The program can be started (from xterm), but immediately exits displaying a message Font 9x15 not found. xskat has a commandline option -font font_name which seems to expect a pixel size like 9x15 or 10x20. On my laptop, several different sizes work. How can I find out which values are possible on the 770?
