It has been a few months since I have updated the PowerPC-based device that I used to use for running SC (a Linkstation NAS). As far as I know, there are several Perl modules that need to be built for SC to run. The standard packages (including .deb) don't have those modules compiled for out-of-the-ordinary hardware like PowerPC.
You should be able to get it to work by downloading the "tarball" (eg, http://downloads.slimdevices.com/SqueezeCenter_v7.3.2/squeezecenter-7.3.2.tgz). Then unpack the archive in the correct place (usually /usr/share, but it varies). Then you need to run the build-perl-modules.pl script that is in the Bin folder, and that should build everything you need. You might run into some problems with the Encode:: Detect module. If you do, post back and I can point you to a hack that will get it to work. Good luck. It's not that hard to do a manual install, but it does require some familiarity with the Linux command line. If that doesn't work, you could also try installing via 'gdebi'. Or at least I think that's the name. I've never used it, but I've heard that it's very good at resolving dependencies. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59203 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
