Paul, I have attempted to load the Navgator Marine SW on my OLPC and ran into a problem I can't solve. I was not able to retrieve the .gz file using wget so I transfered the .gz file using a PC and USB drive to my OLPC SD, then TAR'e the file., on the SD in its own folder It appeared to unpack but with two errors at the end saying Canot create symlink to /libjsig.so etc. I tried to execute the program and it seemed too run i.e. a compass rose graphic showed then the app halted. Not being a Linux user, I don't know how to execute the app from the terminal. Mariner/mariner does not seem to work from the top level shell or from the SD card. Also, when you say olpc is "your" userid, is there more to that than just using "olpc".

Thanks,

Alan
