Debian Compatibility Layer?

[Nard SDK mailing list]

Hi
Nice that you have gotten this far.  :)  I think your problem arise from a 
slight misunderstanding though. The Debian compatibility layer is part of 
the "add-on". This is a portion of Nard that requires contributions to be 
able to download. Either in the form of a minor donation or in code that are 
of good use for other Nard users.
