Finally succeeeded - ref my post above - 

Went back and installed mysql

'ipkg install mysql'

Then tried build-perl-modules again - this time, got a different
problem with the first module - see the posts at
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27844

So, followed the advice there:

- rebuild Compress-Zlib-1.41 manually
(build-perl-modules.pl now runs OK)
- fix MySql to diable InnoDB (post # 16 above)
- make a new user 'slim' and chown -R slim /etc/slim-data 
- run slimserver with --user slim

and at last it seems to work.

So, to recap, you need to

- Modify the path to include /opt/bin and /opt/libexec
- Add the symlinks to point 'armv5b-softfloat-linux-gcc' and
'armv5b-softfloat-linux-ld' to wherever the real gcc and ld are
- install mysql, if not already installed
- run build-perl-modules.pl, accepting the error on
Compress-Zlib-1.41.
- re-do the Compress-Zlib-1.41 build manually (see
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27844, post #9)
- re-run build-perl-modules.pl - apart from a few compiler warnings,
should run OK this time
- Fix MySQL (see post #16 above)
- Set up a non-root user (eg. 'slim') and make this own the slimserver
data
- and run the server....

Phew!

..now I wonder if it will index my music??

BTW, pardon my ignorance, but what is 'FW55' referred to by Ramage in #
27 above?
