mt-daapd/firefly on nslu2 install difficulties.

barnseyboy –

Thanks, I’ll take a look!

fizze –

Good tip, but file sizes do match that listed on the nighlies site.

Ron –

I’m glad someone’s seen this before!

I’ve downloaded using a mac and copying it to the slug and also using wget – both of these methods yield the same error at the end. Also, I definitely have the armeb binaries… at least the names are armeb-based, not mipsel.

Ron –

Did you also try downloading from a pc and copying it to a slug, versus actually downloading it from the slug itself.

Apologies for being so hasty. I see you put ‘PC’… I originally thought you meant this generically. I had actually not tried copying the files from a windows box. I tried this today at work and the file appears to work. I observed that OSX was affecting the file in some way (possibly adding some file association data) that may have been responsible.

I can provide additional details on this (including files affected by osx) if anyone wants to take a look?

Can’t completely confirm that the file works, as I haven’t had time to build the dependancies yet – but running the ipkg install on the mt-daapd file does not present the error that previously appeared.

well if you used wget to download it, it hsould have worked as well.
try and go ahead with a

ipkg install wget

though.
if it reports conflicts, just use –force-overwrite.

then try and use:

/usr/bin/wget 

this is the REAL wget, and not just busybox’s stuff.

Yes fizze, i agree. However, I did try the wget approach (though only after the manual transfer).

The problem may have occurred because I was simultaneously browsing the path with Finder… I really can’t say for sure.

Anyhoo, it’s working now… I’ve got a couple of general queries which i’ll enter as a new post.

Thanks to everyone for their help/advice/kind words.
