Hi hkfind... Try the following (streamlined from Robin Bowes' excellent wiki entry - thanks Robin!):
Install Mandriva Linux 2005 or 2006 version. Use the Mandrake Control Centre to install the latest updates. Go to the easyurpmi site '_here_' (http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/) to get the latest sources for your chosen version. Section 1 is already set for 2006 so go straight to section 2. Though you can use the dropdown boxes to select alternative sites, I just left them as is and ticked the *source: main* and *source: update* boxes on the _Core_distribution_ section. Click on proceed to section 3 whereby you'll get the urpmi coding to use in a later step. For the 2006 version it should look something like this: Code: -------------------- urpmi.addmedia --update updates ftp://ftp.caliu.info/pub/distribucions/mandrake/official/updates/2006.0/main_updates/ with media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia main ftp://ftp.caliu.info/pub/distribucions/mandrake/official/2006.0/i586/media/main with media_info/hdlist.cz -------------------- Fire up a shell. Log in as root (if not already) by using: Code: -------------------- su -------------------- Using the urpmi coding from above, copy and paste into the shell. Again, leave it to do its thing for a while. You may need to hit the *return* key to complete the last one as the copy & paste process sometimes fails to pick up the final carriage return. Once the command prompt returns, download a version of SlimServer by using: Code: -------------------- wget http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/nightly/latest/6.2.2/slimserver-2006_MM_DD-1.noarch.rpm -------------------- where MM is the current month, DD the current day. Hit return & let it do its stuff. Once downloaded install it by using: Code: -------------------- urpmi slimserver-2006_MM_DD-1.noarch.rpm -------------------- Now see if _perl-devel_ is available on the system by using: Code: -------------------- urpmi perl-devel -------------------- It'll come back with either perl-devel is already installed, or it will do the install for you. Now see if _gcc_ is installed by using: Code: -------------------- urpmi gcc -------------------- Again, see what the system says... Now see if _libexpat0-devel_ is available by using: Code: -------------------- urpmi libexpat0-devel -------------------- Now we should be able to build the perl modules required for SlimServer, so change into the Bin directory using: Code: -------------------- cd /usr/local/slimserver/Bin -------------------- and build away using: Code: -------------------- ./build-perl-modules.pl -------------------- And, fingers crossed, we should be able to start SlimServer with: Code: -------------------- service slimserver start -------------------- Don't forget to open the required ports; 3483/tcp, 3483/udp and 9000/tcp using the firewall in Mandrake Control Centre.
