Hello,
I have successfully created deb package for my application and installed it using dpkg. The application icon appeared in launcher but i cannot launch it.

Code:
/usr/bin # ls -l myapp 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 52 Feb 3 22:40 myapp 

/usr/bin # ./myapp 
/bin/sh: ./myapp: not found 

/usr/bin # myapp 
/bin/sh: myapp: not found 

/usr/bin # cat myapp 
#!/bin/sh 
exec python2.5 -O /opt/myapp/myapp.py $
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
..
Name=myapp
Exec=/usr/bin/myapp
Icon=myapp
...
Is there anything I forgot?

chmod +x /usr/bin/myapp?

On a sidenote, a script isn't really needed to start a Python script from a desktop file...

EDIT: Your first post says it is already exec...

I set the execution permission but it doesn't seem to help. Same approach works for me on desktop (Ubuntu) for both shell and python files but someway I'm not able to do that in Maemo (in any location - outside VFAT of course).

Ohh... This is it...
Another common problem is scripts containing a DOS newline immediately after the shebang
