No problem. Okay, on your Ubuntu box, first uninstall slismerver:
apt-get remove slimserver The Remove procedure doesn't seem to get rid of everything, so I did a quick check for any stuff that was left via: cd / find / -name slimserver* and rmeoved the excess stuff. Next, download the tarball. I'm using the 6.3. release, which seems stable enough. Bear in mind that 6.3 is built using the "nightly" cycle, so the filenames below will change daily. You might prefer to use the 6.2.2 release. The 6.3 webpage is here: http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/nightly/latest/6.3.0/ so on your server enter: wget http://tinyurl.com/kyvpk (I download it to my home directory). Next, unpack the tarball: tar -xzf SlimServer_6_3_x_v2006-06-18.tar.gz Move the folder to /usr/local mv SlimServer_6_3_x_v2006-06-18 /usr/local Create a symlink called slimserver. This means you will "appear" to have a slimserver folder, but it will actually point to your SlimServer_6_3_x_v2006-06-18 folder. Useful for having multipel copies: cd /usr/local ln -s SlimServer_6_3_x_v2006-06-18 slimserver Next, build the application: /usr/local/slimserver/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl You will be prompted for pathnames. I entered: /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/slimserver /tmp Ignore any "signedness" messages, they don't seem to matter. Now start the server: cd slimserver ./slimserver.pl --daemon And that should be it! When you compile it, you might get an error: Couldn't find a valid dynamic library for XML-Parser-2.34.tar.gz - something is wrong. Exiting! In this case just type: apt-get install libexpat1-dev and then re-run the /usr/local/slimserver/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl script, and you should be fine. My slim has been up for 14 hours now, without any issues. Good luck!
