I installed Fedora's http://xournal.sourceforge.net/ on MeeGo 1.2
Netbook UX && Lenovo s10-3t (using http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo-Lem ).
( See http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=199012 for
SRPMs and RPMs ).

Xournal is awesome on a touchscreen. Even if you're not planning to
use it for handwriting notes and annotations onto an existing PDF, you
can put it in "hand scroll" mode and then just flick the PDF document
around to scroll, much like you would in a touch-enabled browser. I've
made it my default PDF viewer on my systems as it's more "ready to
hand", as Heidegger would say, on a touchscreen, compared to okular or
acroread.

IMHO, Xournal should be a standard part of MeeGo. Its availability on
Maemo/n900 shows it translates well to touchscreen and mobile usage:

Just a little hack to take care of libpoppler version diffs between
Fedora and MeeGo (needed after choosing zypper's "Solution 3: break
xournal by ignoring some of its dependencies")

meegolem-3-~> sudo ln -s /usr/lib/lib/libpoppler.so.13.0.0
/usr/lib/libpoppler.so.7
meegolem-4-~> ll /usr/lib/libpoppler.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      20 2011-04-18 11:09
/usr/lib/libpoppler.so.13 -> libpoppler.so.13.0.0*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1880016 2011-04-18 02:23 /usr/lib/libpoppler.so.13.0.0*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      20 2011-04-09 15:42
/usr/lib/libpoppler.so.7 -> libpoppler.so.13.0.0*

..........................

and we're good to go with yet-another excellent
fedora-quality&fedora-curated Linux package:

meegolem-5-~> env DISPLAY=:0.0 xournal

Next!
