If it shows any lib errors. You need a lil internet connection in your mobile to download libs. They are few kbs in size.. And can be installed via X-terminal using command

apt-get install "library or missing modules name"

    I have PRD 1.2 and the app manager is not functional showing header issues. Thanks for the help provide through this tutorial. It worked.
    I have another doubt. For few apps, lib were missing and is not downloading the libs from internet. I downloaded it to n900 from the same link but as I open the deb, its showing incompatible. Can you let me know how can the apps lib get installed. I tried apt-get install python2.5 in root but was showing could not found the lib. Please let me know where shall I place(location) the deb in my n900, so that it can read from there.

    Waiting for your reply. Thanks in advance.
