<QOUTE>
It's strange I've downloaded
http://projects.mobileread.com/ilia...6_iliad-0.5.zip and while trying to run it on 2.8 it complains about not finding libgtk-1.2.so.0.
Am I doing something blatantly wrong?</QUOTE>
It is in the zip.
You should put all the files in/with the directories on your iLiad.
