This is a networking problem. I recall that last week at about this time there was a web server outage at SD.

I tried to follow the FHS and the Fedora packaging guidelines. Hopefully someone will adopt the deb package so that the RPM and deb use the same file layout. The tarball may always be different. > I also tried to install alienbbc-linux-v2.00beta2_7.0.tar.gz.

If you extract the Alien tarball in /usr/share/squeezecenter, it will work without moving anything around. You still need to make sure mplayer.sh is executable as per the Alien instructions. > The following info is for the benefit of C-C users who may have followed > the procedure to upgrade to perl-5.8.8 in > http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41188 > > Because the new rpm uses /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim, for some SC > perl modules a link to that dir is needed in the @INC path on > perl-5.8.8.

I assumed this was part of the default, but maybe it's just a Red hat/Fedora thing. -- Fletch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fletch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=529 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41217 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
