I finally had another go installing Scratchbox, and it failed again, just like last time.

First up, it all *installed* fine...

...then...

1. sb-menu - or more specifically, "import sb_menu" in Python - hangs and eats 100% CPU.
2. sb-conf complains at each and every point I do *anything* at the shell because it's in the prompt string and sb-menu doesn't work.
3. Xephyr won't compile on my system.

So I've given up again, likely for good. I like Arch and don't want to have to switch distros; I'll unlikely use Debian anytime soon, so doubt my chances of developing for the Maemo platform until it supports non-Debian-like systems.

When I do get an N810, I'll likely either install uArch and work with that, or build an ARM-targeted copy of LFS or something.

But thanks for your help!
