sure. theyre hacked together from the armel ubuntu 11.04 repo instead of properly compiled and crosslinked with a nice source package etc, etc.

it works perfectly fine for me with martinks gtk repo.

It gives me a lot of depency errors when I try to install the pidgin deb.
What else do I need? I have rzr's and martink's repo

you have to install all four debs and the dependencies in each of them. easiest way to do this is to download them to a dir, and do

dpkg -i *.deb
apt-get -f install

note that this was the minimal set of dependencies i could get it to work with, using the precompiled binary packages in ubuntu, not a sensible compilation targetting harmattan. still, it works fine and installs without dependency issues for me.

When I try to run pidgin, it says:
pidgin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkspell.so.0: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

Edit: I installed the missing dependency libgtkspell0 from here
http://packages.debian.org/nl/squeeze/libgtkspell0

and this one:
http://packages.debian.org/nl/squeeze/libenchant1c2a

after that, I tried apt-get -f install again, and it works now!
Thanks!

xmimd will help here, at least while waiting for a more properly integrated solution.

Since you are not using a chroot or Xephyr, this usecase is much easier. Just do:
  1. Install the xmimd package
  2. Open a terminal window and run "xmimd -v". Leave it open.
  3. On a second, newly opened terminal window, run
    Code:
    export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
    export XMODIFIERS="@im=xmim"
  4. On the second terminal window, run "pidgin".

The Gtk+ window will not be resized, making it hard to see what you've written, but at least you won't need the bt keyboard...
