irssi won't run, same problem discussed on forum yet, but in ureadbale language

[lbox]

hi, i made some steps to - as i hope - right direction to success :-) installed oleg's the latest FW and right managed hdd, ext3 fs and right mounted

i installed via ipkg irss and typed irssi and nothing happen, respective happen just this:

-sh: irssi: not found

i fellow these steps:

a/ installed and upgraded ipkg

mkdir /opt/tmp
mkdir /opt/tmp/ipkg
ipkg.sh update
ipkg.sh install ipkg
ipkg update

group of this commands ended with:

[admin@(none) root]$ ipkg update
Downloading http://wl500g.dyndns.org/ipkg/Packages
Updated list of available packages in /opt/lib/ipkg/lists/wl500g
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/wl500g/Packages
Updated list of available packages in /opt/lib/ipkg/lists/unslung


but these 2 links don't containt irssi i decided to next step

b/ added next repository link to ipkg.conf

[admin@(none) root]$ vi /opt/etc/ipkg.conf
src wl500g http://wl500g.dyndns.org/ipkg
src unslung http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/wl500g
src optware http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable
dest root /


then :wq

and upgraded list of avaiables packages:

[admin@(none) root]$ ipkg update
Downloading http://wl500g.dyndns.org/ipkg/Packages
Updated list of available packages in /opt/lib/ipkg/lists/wl500g

then continued with attempt to install irssi

[admin@(none) root]$ ipkg install irssi

[admin@(none) root]$ vi /opt/etc/ipkg.conf
src wl500g http://wl500g.dyndns.org/ipkg
src unslung http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/wl500g
src optware http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/op...g/cross/stable
dest root /

You should not mix packages from unslung and optware together. /opt/etc/ipkg.conf has to contain only:

src/gz optware http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable
dest /opt/ /

i did you recomended me and i recieved the same thing, before all this happen i removed all modules installed over ipkg

here is result:

the same thing happen with nano and screen ,both not found

but when i removed all modules, upgraded ipkg over ipkg.sh and again installed nano and screen both modules run, it seems like Optware http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/Packages is not compatibel with current ipkg, i checked the same modules in both repository, they have same version but different sizes

I know different size, it can points to nothing, but it is not for sure, who knows, I hope oleg will tell us more..

Thank you

thank you, works, I moved up again, irssi started but

Can't locate Symbol.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mipsel-linux /opt/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /opt/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mipsel-linux /opt/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /opt/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at (eval 9) line 9. the bottom always
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 9) line 9.

and this mess is maybe me fault..

[al37919]

well, I've no idea where this error comes from. However, taking into account your previous double-repository set up. I suggest to reinstall everything from optware. The earlier you do this the better. Otherwise you will probably continue getting weird messages in the future. It was also my experience...
