You need separate linux box.
Can I use the WL-500g to compile source code, or do I need a separate linux system to do it.
I'm working on the iTunes server, and am trying to get Rondezvous up and and running. I've downloaded the source, and I need to execute the config/make command combo, but I don't think I can do that through telnet.
Still getting up to speed on Linux, but making progress.
Thanks for the help.

You need separate linux box.
So basically I need to do the following:
1) copy some libraries to my WL-500g ftp/shared drive (don't know which ones--what directories do I need to copy?)
2) get a knoppix distro to run on my main rig
3) get shared drive mounted on knoppix
4) get sources I need
5) somehow get config/makefile/make to point to WL-500g libraries for compiling when it needs them
6) copy completed binary to shared drive
Is that right?
no, you do not needed libraries from the wl500g. You just need to install toolchain, which is the source package and it will provide all required compilers and libraries.
1. mips compiler
2. linux computer
3. what more?

Install Linux (fedora core 2 or 3 will do)
get the GPL_1817.tar.gz from asus.
Follow instruction inside the readme concerning links to /opt folder and setting PATH variable
Get oleg's firmware modification from http://wl500g.dyndns.org
Follow the how-to instruction to get your own firmware
compile your own proggies using a CC=/opt/...../mipsel-uclic-gcc ./configure --host=mipsel-linux and any other option needed by the configure script.
then do a make if everything is ok
If a specific library is needed, make it before your prog, and use it's path as a ./configure option (use ./configure --help to know which one)
If your proggram doesn't use configure script, learn a bit more about compilation to make it work using mipsel gcc.
ok, but how to compile specific program (example is iptraf... allredy compiled)
there are so much things for linux of course

read my post, it's all inside. Downlaod iptraf, and you will find ./configure
see https://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=666 for explanation on how to install iptraf on asus
