After hours of trying different things, I read in this forum, the problem has been solved by manually downloading the latest FLAC version which I found here:
http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/mss/cross/unstable/flac_1.1.4-1_mipsel.ipk

I downloaded it to a share directory on my Maxtor (MSSII) and then executed it within a telnet-session (via Puttty) by issueing the command:

ipkg install flac_1.1.4-1_mipsel.ipk -force-reinstall

Now if I do a list on the directory containing the flac-stuff I get the following result:

# ls /opt/lib/libFLAC*
/opt/lib/libFLAC++.so /opt/lib/libFLAC.so
/opt/lib/libFLAC++.so.5 /opt/lib/libFLAC.so.7
/opt/lib/libFLAC++.so.5.0.0 /opt/lib/libFLAC.so.7.0.0
/opt/lib/libFLAC++.so.6 /opt/lib/libFLAC.so.8
/opt/lib/libFLAC++.so.6.0.1 /opt/lib/libFLAC.so.8.0.1

I don’t fully understand the installation-procedure described in the Wiki (but I’m learning slowly step by step). For example which command is responsible for installing the right flac-version? However I see in the location http://ipkg.fireflymediaserver.org/mipsel that flac-version flac_1.1.2-3_mipsel.ipk is referenced.
