Need Pdf & Chm Reader Options

[woverin]

I used hentges rom based on OZ 3.5.2 on Collie
I can't find any working pdf & chm reader.
I tried qpdf2 but got a problem with qpe-base depedence. So, I opened Package Manager(AQPkg) to find qpe-base to install but it did not in the list. So where is it ?

Use ABC chm converter,http://www.thebeatlesforever.com/processtext/abcchm.html, convert chm files into html files and use browser to read.

I hope this interim solution will help.

Thanks for your solution but I do really need need a real chm reader eg. xchm I hate to convert 500mb of ebook and end up with cripple format.

I found qpdf2 package from opie feed. Installation went without any error but when i launched qpdf, it complained about missing libt1.so which i can't find in the feed. Anyone have a hint ?

[systemparadox]

the package is called 't1lib' for some reason. install that, link that (if needed), then try qpdf2. There has been quite a lot of discussion about a qpdf and trying to get any pdf reader working, but as far as I know no-one has got round to sorting one out, however:

I recently installed t1lib and qpdf2 and have found that it does actually work. It sigsevs if you start it using the icon, but I found that it worked fine when you open a file on the docs tab with it. Then I told it to open the last pdf on each boot and now it works fine from the icon. So- it may be a little buggy and you may have to go round sometimes, but it is possible to use it.

Hope this is useful

After you install the 't1lib', open your 'qpdf.desktop' file and change the line

'Exec=qpdf' to 'Exec=qpdf -d 0'

Credit goes to Teletubbie for posting this fix.

Finally, I found the problem. t1lib in hesges feed is broken. It complained about missing t1lib.so.5
I tried to change setting in ipkg.conf to oz.pdai.org (mirror) and it worked.

Yay! I was looking for this fix, too!

Hello,

I'm getting this complaint too, and I can't find t1lib on pdai.org. What's the full url you added to ipkg.conf? Or if it has been removed from the pdai mirror, does anyone have a copy of it?


Thanks,

Harry.

It's there, and I think that's the one I used (which worked).

Check that the libs feed is added to the servers list (some are not there by default, though I don't think libs is one of them).

Hope this helps

Just got qpdf working on hentges.
Just remove then reinstall the t1lib and libfreetype6 packages and then qpdf seems to work.
Hope this helps....
