Thanks! I ran into an issue with some of the paths referenced in the config file. Changing those paths fixed my problem. Sadly, that has exposed another problem. The system i am working with is a single user linux system, and trips up on the “runas”. Here’s the error i run into:
# ./mt-daapd -c /etc/mt-daapd.conf -f -d 5

Aborting
I traced the error down to the function “getpwnam” in the file pwd.h in /usr/include (on ubuntu). The issue being that my system doesn’t have that file or the package it goes with. Because this is a single user system, a workaround where we simulate a multi-user system for the use of firefly is not desirable. Is there a way to remove the user lookup functionality in order to circumvent this error? Or is there another option that i am currently missing?
