Probably related: I found a more recent version here:
http://www.ginguppin.de/node/21

But trying to install it yields some nasty dependency errors. It seems
to insist om some very recent versions of libraries. I was not able to
find all of them:

wget http://www.ginguppin.de/files/epdfview_poppler.tar.bz2
wget http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2008/ipk/glibc/armv4t/base/libfreetype6_2.3.6-r0_armv4t.ipk
opk install libfreetype6_2.3.6-r0_armv4t.ipk
opkg install libpoppler3_0.8.4-r0_armv4t.ipk
opkg install poppler_0.8.4-r0_armv4t.ipk

opkg install epdfview_0.1.6-r3_armv4t.ipk

The last command returns:
 * ERROR: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for libpoppler-glib3:
libglib-2.0-0 (>= 2.16.4) *  gtk+ (>= 2.12.11) *  libcairo2 (>= 1.6.4)
*  libpoppler-glib3 (>= 0.8.4)

I can't find this bleeding edge version of libglib-2.0-0. I have not
tried gtk+ and libcairo2. The libpoppler-glib3 has the same
dependancies:
gtk+ (>= 2.12.11) *  libglib-2.0-0 (>= 2.16.4) *  libcairo2 (>= 1.6.4) *
