Problem installing Firefly on WD NetCenter

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Can anyone help me to understand why ipkg-cl returns error ‘cannot execute’ when I try to install the various packages for MT-DAAPD on my Net Center? Below is the transcript from telnet session.

thankyou

The only thing I can guess is that the ipkg-cl isn’t the right type for your system.

What does ‘uname -a’ show as compared to ‘file /opt/bin/ipkg-cl’?

Does it show the same architecture?

Hi,

Below is the output from those two commands. I have been following the setup guide from scousethemouse who used ipkg-cl, but obviously I have got snarled up somwewhere.

thanks for your input,

Martin

can anyone suggest where I might get a compatible version of ipkg-cl for the NetCenter or have I just made a basic error?

Last time I need to do something like that, I installed the shell version of ipkg. Now I can’t seem to find it on the google, though.

But that works on any arch, and might be enough to get you going.
