Thanks. I took a quick look and I think I would have to cross-compile
it (I didn't find an ARM binary). When I get my larger compactflash
card I am hoping that I will be able to just get the ARM debian
package (and all the assorted dependencies) without having to setup a
cross-compiling tool chain---I will have to take a look and see what
is involved in doing this. I don't have a compiler installed on the
Psion and probably would not have enough room for all the libraries
(just guessing here).
