Comment 2 for bug 431233

First, it's better to report upstream problems directly upstream (either gnokii-users mailing list or http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/gnokii).

As for your concerns: as you already noticed you need devel libraries (-dev packages) to compile from the sources. Compile-time requirements are usually higher than run-time.

"Besides the wiki page on 'supported mobile' says series40 for non-symbian phones. But aren't series40 also symbian phones?" Well, commonly as Symbian are described just series60. I think series40 have completely different kernel and is referred as NokiaOS.

As for double free/corruption. We would need at least debug log and command given to solve the issue.

As for smsd issue. I haven't seen this before. Can you do more testing? Does it help when you close smsd? And when you do --getsms ME 1 end? And when you delete a message (--deletesms)? Do you need to restart the phone (ie. with PIN entering and stuff)?
