Problems Installing Firefly on Maxtor MSS

[purpleindigo]

Hi,

I’m following the Wiki to install Firefly on a Maxtor MSS.

http://wiki.fireflymediaserver.org/MSS_Installation

I got as far as doing this

# ipkg install ncursesw nano

And what I saw was:

Then I typed:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib /opt/bin/nano /opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd

And I got this error message:

/opt/bin/nano: not found

Now I’m totally lost. Anyone know what I should do or why it can’t find nano?

wow. why the hell would nano be required for firefly? WTF 😯

nano is the program that requires ncurses. firefly itself doesnt.

whoever is comfortable with vi, doesnt need this step. The Wiki is very vague about those steps.

You can also edit the config file on a windows box through a share in a linux-friendly editor, like wyoedit, or ultraedit, etc.

anywho, if you really want to go ahead and install nano and ncurses to the MSS, just install ncursesw like this:

ipkg install ncursesw --force-overwrite

this will overwrite the /opt/bin/reset and other links.
Those are just links provided by busybox, while ncurses installs REAL versions.

I tried opening the file in Nano, and the telnet screen just went into a mess. No way to use the cursors to get to the line to be edited.

Then I tried opening the file in VI instead. But it couldn’t find VI.

How can i find and install vi?

scrap that, i found vi

[purpleindigo]

almost at the end of the wiki, (I had to use vi as nano wouldn’t work)

got as far as starting the server

# /opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd
pidof: not found
/opt/sbin/mt-daapd: error while loading shared libraries: libFLAC.so.7: cannot o
pen shared object file: No such file or directory

And the server seemingly wasn’t started. At least the Soundbridge can’t find it, and the web interface isn’t working for it.

Please help. So close.

fixed it using the instructions here:
