That was my impression as well, until people started reporting problems upgrading from _5 to _7. In _5, zlibrary was already in libs, not in user/libs.

Had they definitely installed the updated zlibrary with _5?

I've just checked on my N900. Installing the updated fbreader doesn't pull in the new libzlibrary, but I was able to install this using "apt-get install" from the command-line without any issues. This is what I'd expect to happen (without any explicit dependency on the new libzlibrary).

The people currently affected are a very small set of the whole. Pushing the lib to Extras in user/* will ensure we'll never be able to fix it this generation.

In other words, there is no solution and there won't be solution in hopes that there will be solution? :)

But the problem is that very few users are able to install via command line. This has to install via HAM.

There is no pain free solution, but there's a way of decreasing long-term pain at the expense of some acute short-term pain.

Actually, on my good old psion I could read files this big with tomeraider and on my E90, even with mobipocket, which I really miss on the n900... And these devices have less power and memory than the n900.

FBReader is total **** for viewing CHM files anyway. Build http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ght=kchmviewer for the N900 which does a much better job.

I really enjoy fbreader and its one of the first app i will install on my N900 ( when i get it) I just wish that kenetic scrolling can be added to it because that would make its usage even much more a pleasure.
