Hello - am new to DD-WRT - running 29621 for the past week and have successfully (I think!) altered the paths (shown below) to point to the new locations for download from OpenWrt of "libc" and "opkg" but if you take a look at the screen dump shown below
issuing the "ipkg" command line results in an error that is not listed in step 5 nor does it show any "Unpacking" or "Configuring" messages as shown in step 5 on page one of this thread.
Does any expert know where I have made an error OR how to work around this problem?
Also tried "ipkg install" command as in:-
root@DD-WRT:/tmp# ipkg install libc_0.9.33.2-1_ar71xx.ipk opkg_9c97d5ecd795709c8584e972bfdf3aee3a5b846d-9_ar71xx.ipk
ERROR: File not found: //usr/local/lib/ipkg/lists/barrier_breaker
You probably want to run `ipkg update'
mkdir: can't create directory '/jffs/tmp/': Read-only file system
root@DD-WRT:/tmp#
But as you can see got a different error this time of "file not found" also with a mysterious reference to "barrier breaker" INSTEAD of "chaos calmer" (if I got the paths correctly altered to point to "chaos calmer" version where is the "barrier breaker" version reference coming from?) - also the "ipkg install" looks like it tried to run a "mkdir" which failed as you can see.
Does anyone know how to resolve this? Help would be appreciated.
OK I made some adjustments to these instructions which got me to the end of the installation -Step 8- issued the "opkg update" command and then all the optware libraries scrolled past on screen as everything updated itself just fine!
I'm having no luck getting ipkg to work on my Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H. Usually ipkg produces no results and when trying to install a specific package I get an unhelpful error:
Code:
ipkg install libc_0.9.33.2-1_ar71xx.ipk
ipkg_install_file: ERROR: File not found

Hello,
You need to transfer the .ipk file to the router manually (using WinSCP or Filezilla), then cd to that location, then run that command. It can be done but it takes a fair bit of legwork. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.

Thank you js1662. That guide worked a charm and now I can install packages via opkg.
I get the odd error about directory's not existing or being writable, but despite that the packages appear to install correctly. So I guess they're to be ignored for now. _________________ Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H: DD-WRT v3.0-r32170 std (06/01/17)
