It's me who should be apologising - to both the forum regulars, and SlimDevices too.
I'm up and running now, v7.3 nightly from a .deb package. In no particular order, these tips (found on the forum in various places) were very useful: - the "_all" .deb file can be used on all architectures - download manually and install with "gdebi" - when diagnosing startup problems, use "su - squeezecenter", then start squeezecenter manually - don't rely on the "/etc/init.d/..." thing just yet - if squeezecenter complains about missing libraries, I used "sudo cpan {whatever}" to install them, one by one - if squeezecenter *still* complains about libraries (such as XML::Parser or Template::Whatever), then rename the "XML" or "Template" directory inside the Squeezecenter/CPAN/ directory... and try again (all these from memory, so may not be totally accurate) So it's all rosy again. I think my two main problems were: - expecting the moon-on-a-stick, when running on obscure hardware - impatience! Whenever I get problems like this, I usually stick some tunes on and patiently work through them. But without Squeezecenter, there were no tunes... :( Anyways... when do we get a "Commodore 64" forum here? I'm struggling to get SqueezeOS to build... ;-) Matthew -- mflint 'LiveDepartures plugin' (http://wiki.insignificant.org/index.php?title=LiveDepartures) - 'GoalRush plugin' (http://wiki.insignificant.org/index.php?title=GoalRush) - 'Occasional blog' (http://insignificant.org/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mflint's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2102 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
