The previous Perl updates caused the same kind of problems, but then they were fixed after a short while, so that's why I kinda expected it would go the same way now. But I know it's essentially a dead product for a while now, which is unfortunate but I can't blame you of course. I'm glad it's been functioning for so long. Anyway, the last year I haven't really kept up with LMS development otherwise, have Logitech cut your hours even more? I will check out the suggestions in the posts above to create a stand-alone lms.

They don't provide CD images for this. > Well, I'm running the intermediate 'testing'. But that's just two weeks behind 'unstable', so 'unstable' is the newest platform. If 'unstable' is supported, then so is 'testing'. Stefan's procedure seems correct to me, it's also what I usually do when I install a new machine. (There are also 'testing' network images to install, but I think the end result is the same and it takes just as long.)

(The manual is a few years old, so I changed some lines to reflect newer Perl versions etc.) I installed it in /opt/. (Not OK according to the Debian file hierarchy guidelines, but who cares.) Since I didn't want to interrupt any scripts the .deb had set up (which were working just fine), I decided against building LMS. I symlinked some modules to the new Perl directory: ln -s /usr/share/perl5/Slim/ /opt/perl-5.22.2-LMS/lib/5.22.2/Slim . I then changed the first lines in three files in /usr/sbin: squeezeboxserver, squeezeboxserver_safe and squeezeboxserver-scanner. They linked to the system wide perl binary, but I changed them to: #!/opt/perl-5.22.2-LMS/bin/perl . Then I started LMS using /etc/init.d/logitechmediaserver start. And it worked! Probably really basic stuff for you guys, but a little victory for me. :D Now I just need to remember to not re-install a newer version, because then I'd need to edit the files again. willemd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65076 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104854 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
