Ron –
Did you also try downloading from a pc and copying it to a slug, versus actually downloading it from the slug itself.
Apologies for being so hasty. I see you put ‘PC’… I originally thought you meant this generically. I had actually not tried copying the files from a windows box. I tried this today at work and the file appears to work. I observed that OSX was affecting the file in some way (possibly adding some file association data) that may have been responsible.
I can provide additional details on this (including files affected by osx) if anyone wants to take a look?
Can’t completely confirm that the file works, as I haven’t had time to build the dependancies yet – but running the ipkg install on the mt-daapd file does not present the error that previously appeared.
