Iperf not found

[Anttu]

I have found iperf (http://www.speedtest.fi/iperf.php) an excellent tool for connection evaluation. Iperf works in server-client way, and it would be great to use WL-500 as a server and PC as a client. Thus there is no need for two PC:s.

When I install iperf to Oleg's everything seems fine, but starting of iperf does not succeed:

[admin@(none) root]$ ipkg install http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/iperf_2.0.2-2_mipsel.ipk
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/iperf_2.0.2-2_mipsel.ipk
Installing iperf (2.0.2-2) to root...
Configuring iperf
Successfully terminated.
[admin@(none) root]$ iperf -s
-sh: iperf: not found

I have also tried to give the full path /opt/bin/iperf, but still I get the same error iperf: not found.

It is probably some simple trick that I being a newbie just cannot figure out. Please help. (And try iperf. It's great.)

such error usually is caused by inconsistence in libraries. Have you done an upgrade from earlier firmware recently? You may try:
ipkg install -force-reinstall uclibc-opt
ipkg install -force-reinstall ipkg-opt
More generalized solution is reinstallation of _all_ packages.

Oh yes! Thank you!

In addition I needed to install libuclibc++.

For some reason the path "http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/wl500g/cross/stable" does not work for me in ipkg.conf. Ipkg update seems to work OK but ipkg install tends to add "Packages" in the end of the path and then I get "cannot find package". If I give full path to ipkg install, it works like a charm.
