I finally got isohybrid on Debian Lenny after a 'make' and 'INSTALLROOT=$HOME make install' on the vanilla source archive for Squeeze. The I do a 'export PATH=$HOME/usr/bin:$PATH'.

cube:/home/jcdr/try/meego# isohybrid
Usage: /home/jcdr/usr/bin/isohybrid [options] filename.iso
Options:
  -h          Number of default geometry heads
  -s          Number of default geometry sectors
  -entry      Specify partition entry number (1-4)
  -offset     Specify partition offset (default 0)
  -type       Specify partition type (default 0x17)
  -id         Specify MBR ID (default random)
  -forcehd0   Always assume we are loaded as disk ID 0
  -ctrlhd0    Assume disk ID 0 if the Ctrl key is pressed
  -partok     Allow booting from within a partition

But with moblin-image-creator I get:

Error: failed to create image : Needed file: /usr/bin/isohybrid not found, please check your installation

Or:

cube:/home/jcdr/try/meego# unsquashfs -v
unsquashfs version 1.5 (2007/10/31)

I believe the problem is that moblin-image-creator use fixed absolute path instead of the $PATH environment variable. Another point to test in the QA.

A dirty workaround it to use symbolic link from the real binary to the path expected by moblin-image-creator.
