MSS installation results in error with libFLAC.so.8

[RickV]

I’m back from my holiday and found nobody did answer my last questions in my previous thread. With starting a new post I hope someone can help me out (please…).

My MSS contained an installed firefly. I did a new install following the steps in de Wiki. The only difference is that I used the option -force-reinstall on all ipkg commands.

When starting the server I got the following error:

# /opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd

pidof: not found

opt/sbin/mt-daapd: error while loading shared libraries: libFLAC.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I searched the forum and found the following post http://forums.fireflymediaserver.org/viewtopic.php?t=5537&highlight=libflac

As you can see an ipkg-upgrade (I think an update was meant) solved that problem then but with my install that didn’t do the job.

I did a list on the directory containing the FLAC-libraries with the following result:

# ls /opt/lib/libFLAC*

/opt/lib/libFLAC++.so        /opt/lib/libFLAC.so.7

/opt/lib/libFLAC++.so.5      /opt/lib/libFLAC.so.7.0.0

/opt/lib/libFLAC++.so.5.0.0  /opt/lib/libFLAC.so.8

/opt/lib/libFLAC.so

Please can anyone say what must be the next step to get the firefly running again?

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.
