did you set the path to optware in /ffp/etc/profile??

The PATH gets set in the file that optware.sh creates and puts in /ffp/etc/profile.d . With ffp 0.5 /ffp/etc/profile "sources" the files in /ffp/etc/profile.d so there is no need to actually change /ffp/etc/profile . After optware.sh has created /ffp/etc/profile.d/optware.sh , any future login shells created will "source" it and so the PATH will be set.

I don't think that a separate test is require in /ffp/etc/profile.d/optware.sh for checking if it is a symbolic link. If the link links to a directory then -d will still report that it is a directory. For me I have a link and it seems to work:

root@HTTB_1_NAS:~# ls -l /opt
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Jan 16 05:11 /opt -> /mnt/HD_a2/ipkg/opt
root@HTTB_1_NAS:~# if [ -d "/opt" ] ; then
> echo "Dir"
> else
> echo "Not Dir"
> fi
Dir
root@HTTB_1_NAS:~#

Could you try optware.sh without those lines and confirm it does set the PATH. For me when I telnet in after optware.sh has installed the PATH *is* set:

root@HTTB_1_NAS:~# echo $PATH
/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:/ffp/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/ffp/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
root@HTTB_1_NAS:~#

Hello,

I am a linux beginner, so I just follow indicated advice to configure my DNS-323 (fw 1.06). I have so installed ffp 0.5 without a glitch.

I just tried to install the optware.sh script, but I get the following error message during the installation:

*     Retrieving optware packages currently available:
        /mnt/HD_a2/ipkg/opt/bin/ipkg update
/mnt/HD_a2/ipkg/opt/bin/ipkg: can't load library 'libipkg.so.0'
*     Optware packages available for installation:
        /mnt/HD_a2/ipkg/opt/bin/ipkg list
/mnt/HD_a2/ipkg/opt/bin/ipkg: can't load library 'libipkg.so.0'

Then the use of ipkg does not work as it should as it is not "found": what is wrong ?

Thank you in advance for your support.

Hello,

As written in the Optware wiki, I put the following commands within the optware.sh script (by changing the OPTWARE_USE_SYMBOLIC_LINK key to "0"  and adding the export command:

mkdir -p /opt
mount --bind /mnt/HD_a2/ipkg/opt /opt
export PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:$PATH

Then I could type "ipkg list" and "ipkg update" with success!
I tried to install sabnzbdplus with "ipkg install sabnzbdplus": all files were downloaded but after a reboot of my DNS-323 but none of them were found running with a TOP command...

Again I have very limited LINUX knowledge and it seems that there is something wrong with the optware.sh script: it seems that there plenty of extensions ready to be used for the DNS-323, but that they are only available for "EXPERTS" and not for "BEGINNERS" like me...

Hello,

That is the problem: I installed your script straight and it did not work (as I tried to explain in my previous posts)... I have no idea why.

What are you trying to do ? PHP + MySQL + LightTPD ?

Hello again,

Reading different threads, I found that using SSH rather than Telnet, the Optware script would work: I tried that (getting the same error messages that I indicated in my previous posts), but now it seems to work ! NSLU2 Software can install, but now I need some advice on how to configure them.

For example LightHttp installs nicely, but I do not know what to set-up then (as it is explained in the DNS-323 wiki or using other configuration parameters ?): I would be grateful if someone could help me !

Thank you in advance

TonyT, thank you for the optware.sh script.  By using it I was able the get optware operational on my test DNS-323 system which has F/W 1.10b7 installed.  I then attempted to install optware on my primary DNS-323  (F/W 1.09) and received the "can't load library 'libipkg.so.0'" twice in the ffp.log.  In my somewhat limited experience this is usually a case where the $PATH is not set properly.

I have compared the $PATH variables and they are identical on both systems.  Obviously I am missing something.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you for the quick and correct reply.  At one point I added Firefly but had it disabled and have not thought much about it.  Disabled is not deleted.  I have deleted the addon and rebooted the server.  All looks well.
