Squeezecenter is not hard to install if you just choose your distro wisely.

AMD64 is a superset of the x86 architecture, and as several people have pointed out in this thread the .deb package and aptitude work fine on that platform. It is not as straightforward with other processors, like the PowerPC that the OP is using. What you outline works perfectly for my Ubuntu (ie, debian-based) installations running on x86 processors, and not at all for my Debian installations running on ARM or PowerPC processors. For example, there doesn't seem to be a functioning perl Encode:: Detect:: Detector module for linux on PPC processors. -- aubuti Nothing high-end, but music anywhere I want it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Gah! Why is it so hard to get SqueezeCenter working!?
I've ran into several problems yesterday trying to install 7.2.1 under openbsd 4.4 My advice is to go through the CPAN directory of the squeezecenter distribution and rename each conflicting module. If you have a system wide XML::Parser 2.34 installed, do a mv XML XML_unused in the CPAN directory and start again with --d_startup. I also had the dreaded 2.34 loaded, 2.34 needed :) Hope it helps. luc -- ldarieut ldarieut's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21224 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55124 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix

Template::Stash::XS object version 2.20 does not match bootstrap parameter 2.15 This particular one for instance, indicates you have a site_perl Template module version 2.2 and it's trying to use the one in the CPAN directory which is 2.15. Do mv Template Template_unused, and mv Template.pm Template.pm_unused in squeezecenter-7.2/CPAN and it will resolve the conflict. luc -- ldarieut ldarieut's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21224 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55124 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Gah! Why is it so hard to get SqueezeCenter working!?
I have some sympathy with your position having tried to build squeezecenter for an ARM NAS box and given up after wasting several hours of my time. As luck would have it, after giving up I found a package built by someone else that only took a few minutes to install. Why is it still so hard to install Squeezecenter? Because it is written in a scripting language and has a large number of dependencies. However, if it was small tight C code would you have written those couple of plugins? Given Logitech's objectives it does not seem an inappropriate choice. The SlimDevices hardware is top-notch - it really is. But it'll never be mainstream if the SqueezeCenter installation doesn't improve. I am not sure what you mean by mainstream. It is a Logitech product and is consequently on sale in countless places all around the world. But other folk might not be so persistent and they will go elsewhere. And they'll tell their friends. And that worries me. As SuperQ pointed out, it is very easy to install on all the main platforms including PPC on OSX. If you and I want to run it on unsupported OS/hardware then we must be prepared to pay the price. I will add that I was surprised at what I found when I tried to install it on a NAS box. Running a music server on such devices is becoming a common thing to want to do as reflected elsewhere on this site. I would imagine that pressure is growing to get rid of dependencies like MySQL, rewrite the core in C and keep Perl for the extensions. This would improve things in a technical sense for this type of platform but I have no familiarity with how the community works and it may do more harm than good on the main platforms where such a change is clearly not necessary. -- honestguv honestguv's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13734 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55124 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix

As others have pointed out, support for 'exotic' processors like PPC and ARM is spotty at best. And it's not all Logi/Slim's fault. For example, to run SC on my PPC-based LinkStation I still need a hack to get around the fact that there doesn't seem to be an Encode:: Detect module that works on PPC platforms. And on an ARM I need a different hack for the GD module. I suppose you could blame Logi/SD for requiring modules that don't exist on some platforms, but I can definitely understand the *business* choice to enhance the experience for the majority of users at the cost of inconveniencing 1% of users.
