Unrar problem

[bt338]

Hi!

I've installed unrar from ipkg, but i've got a problem. I allways get a message: "-sh: unrar: not found". Why!? What' wrong?

Can somebody help me?

[sorin7486]

I have the exact same problem ... have you found the solution to this ?

[raas]

same problem here. unrar doesn't work.. doesn't matter which version is installed..

some people have it working.. others don't..

[sorin7486]

ok ... there's some contradiction in what you say .... if some people got it working then it can work ... and if it can work I want to know how ????

[raas]

that's right.. there's some contradiction..
I better should say: It stopped working for me.. 'cause it has worked, but it stopped. don't know why.. And I really didn't have the time to look into it.. Will do that later...
If any-1 has a solution in the meantime ? hehe

I can confirm it working, works fine on my wl-500gp with latest oleg version.
I had some problems as well with it some month ago, but after i did "ipkg upgrade" it startet working for me again, at least i think it was related to the upgrade.

[sorin7486]

hey... what package did you install exactly ? because "ipkg install unrar" didn't work for me ... I garbed a package off the web with wget and just installed that ... I think it was from this server:
http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/op.../cross/stable/

I used version 3.6.8-2..

[raas]

Would the persons who have unrar working might be so kind to post their list of installed packages..

ipkg list_installed

We might be able to see differences in packages with those who don't have it working.

Thanks in advance.

could you also tell us where you got the package from ? unrar I mean ... btw: when I list the installed packages I don't get a description for unrar ... I only get:

unrar - 3.6.8-2 -

so it might be installed from a different package ?

As you see, I get the "aborted" message too, but only if I give unrar wrong, or no options/commands. Commands should be without a dash! ( - )

@Mistraller..

yeah... stupid me.... made a big mistake when entering the parameters to unrar..

unrar is actually working in a telnet session.

then why is it not working for Sab.. or Hella...
I dont get it...

[raas]

well..

figured it out

i used the post boot script.. to run a script which starts SAB or Hella (currently Hella... more stable)

but if it's started automatically directly after boot. the unrar package is not found.

however. when I start it manually after the boot it does find the package and then it unrars perfectly after download..

The prettiest thing of all is that this behaviour is written up on the first page off the SAB tutorial.. stupid me.. /me should do better reading..
