I'm sure there's a lot of project specific details, but I was wondering if someone could help me at least understand what my error is. The project uses OpenWrt. The issue I'm having is regarding opkg, which is a package manager used to download and install OpenWrt packages. The command the instructions tell me to run is: "opkg install kmod-usb-audio kmod-usb-ohci" when i do that, I get this error: Collected errors: * pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for kmod-usb-audio found, but incompatible with the architectures configured * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-usb-audio. * pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for kmod-usb-ohci found, but incompatible with the architectures configured * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-usb-ohci. Can anyone decipher what my problem is? I've posted this question in the forum's related to this project without any reply. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

It's saying that the platform those packages are compiled for is not a match with the platform you are running on... If you are using the ASUS WL-520GU, it appears to have a MIPS processor. Are you sure you have the right repositories configured for that hardware? You'll need to set the package source in /etc/opkg.conf as they say and run opkg update. Failing that, you might try grabbing the zip file of all the packages and installing manually, probably with something like opkg -i <package_file>. If you're not using the exact same hardware, you'll need to get packages that match the hardware... Hope this helps, Cheers, Vern > * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-usb-audio. > * pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for > kmod-usb-ohci found, but incompatible with the architectures > configured > * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-usb-ohci. > > Can anyone decipher what my problem is? > I've posted this question in the forum's related to this project > without any reply. > > Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. > > Jason > > _______________________________________________ > Fwlug mailing list > [email protected] > http://fortwaynelug.org/mailman/listinfo/fwlug_fortwaynelug.org -- This time for sure! -Bullwinkle J.
