Hi Dale,

many thank's for the link to your site - a superb reference.

Still can't see a link to Evince that works though, but I am getting somewhere.

I found another link, at etrunko's site, and this link does add a package to the 'phone successfully I still can,t install Evince, but I can see some gtk""" stuff which I believe forms part of Evince dependencies; unfortunately, this wont install either, but at least I can now see from the detail problem tab that it requires Python to be installed first which ties in with Ellen's comment.

So, I will be installing Python 2.51 later today and take it from there.

I have to say, that for a package that is so highly admired, and desired, by Noki 770 / 800 owners this is turning into a bit of a saga, needless to say, I am a point&click PC owner so at least it's a good learning curve for me.

I do find it difficult to understand why there seems to be so little supporting documentation out there on how to install Evince, and, copyrights notwithstanding, an A-Z instruction guide, detailing which package needs to be installed, and when, with links to the relevant pages.
I'm giving some serious consideration to setting up just such a, very basic, site to assist in the installation of Evince.

Keith.
