Hi all,

I use the latest kamikaze, brcm-2.4, on my asus wl500gp and as many essential programs are not in this repo, i source http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optwa … oss/stable for optware. (I also use a usb harddrive mounted on /opt).

So for instance, I installed screen from the nslu2 repo, which installs 

root@Zapp:~# ipkg files screen
Package screen (4.0.3-2) is installed on root and has the following files:
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings/bf
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings/cd
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings/cc
/opt/share
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings/d6
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings/c8
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings/c6
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings/c7
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings/c4
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings/c2
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings/c3
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings/a1
/opt/bin
/opt/man/man1
/opt/man
/opt/man/man1/screen.1
/opt/info/screen.info-2
/opt/info/screen.info-3
/opt/info/screen.info-1
/opt/info/screen.info-4
/opt/info/screen.info-5
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings/18
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings/19
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings/04
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings/02
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings/03
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings/01
/opt/share/screen
/opt/bin/screen
/opt
/opt/bin/screen-4.0.3
/opt/info/screen.info
/opt/info
/opt/share/screen/utf8encodings

Done.

But, when I try to call it, I get "command not found", even when I ecplicitely specify the correct path, also "which" gives me the right path! What is wrong?

root@Zapp:~# screen
-ash: screen: not found
root@Zapp:~# which screen
/opt/bin/screen
root@Zapp:~# /opt/bin/screen
-ash: /opt/bin/screen: not found
root@Zapp:~# ls -larth /opt/bin/screen*
-rws--x--x    1 root     root       422.9k Feb 25 07:17 /opt/bin/screen-4.0.3
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           12 May 19 16:53 /opt/bin/screen -> screen-4.0.3
root@Zapp:~# /opt/bin/screen-4.0.3
-ash: /opt/bin/screen-4.0.3: not found

TIA!

Is the problem, that packages from nslu2 don't run on kamikaze but just on white russian?

You probably need all the dependancies also installed into /opt

but you should use openwrt packages

make package/symlinks in the buildroot

is there a openwrt/kamikaze brcm2.4 package for e.g. "screen"?

Probably in the x-wrt repository.

the pre built snapshots are only for the essential packages.

Hmm... another problem, but it still doesn't work...

root@Zapp:~# ipkg install screen
Installing screen (4.0.2-1) to root...
Downloading http://downloads.x-wrt.org/xwrt/kamikaze/brcm-2.4/packages/./screen_4.0.2-1_mipsel.ipk

Done.
root@Zapp:~# screen 
Cannot find termcap entry for 'xterm'.
root@Zapp:~#

Okay, following your link to other repositories, I found this one: http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optwa … oss/stable

And, actually this one had also screen, and the screen package pulled termcap as a dependancy, so finally now screen works again...

Btw, is this repository supposed to be used with kamikaze/brcm2.4 on asus wl500gp?


Thanks,
max

Sadly i still didn't find a repository with a working version of screen for Kamikaze brcm2.4.
Anyone more lucky than me willing to share the repository URL?

Thanks,
max

For the records, "dtach" can be used as a replacement for "screen", and this package finally works.

hi!!

the files from nslu do work on kamikaze...
i run it on brcm-24 kamikaze on an WD-Netcenter (I adopted it wink )

you must install

uclibc-opt


ipkg install uclib-opt

this should work

The discussion might have continued from here.
