Erm, yea stick with the guide, it works simply.

opkg will run but the whole way that script is laid out is made to where it is required to have /jffs

So don't let the title post fool any of you other Atheros based users. Wink

I changed the title of the thread Smile
As long as the device is using an Atheros (MIPS big-endian) cpu it should be OK.

I'm not sure to understand what you mean.
Why would you need /jffs ?
We are using /etc/opkg.conf (which actually is /opt/etc/opkg.conf) to specify root, ram and lists_dir destinations:

dest root /opt
dest ram /tmp
lists_dir ext /tmp/var/opkg-lists

Strange. After restart when i simply invoked "opkg list", i got error messages about readonly /jffs. Now, when i unmounted /jffs, everything is OK. Shocked

Weird I agree.

Just to know. Did you disable JFFS2 as asked in step 2 ?

Im getting some errors at ipkg install

mkdir: cannot create directory '//usr/local/lib/': Read-only file system



For me it is even worst. This same error happens just using ipkg to install opkg, and of course nothing is installed:
Code:
root@DD-WRT:/tmp# ipkg install opkg_576-1_ar71xx.ipk
/bin/ipkg: line 1184: sort: not found
mkdir: cannot create directory '///usr/local/lib/': Read-only file system


I would appreciate any help Sad

Using ipkg will give you an error message.

Now I don't see why it's not installing opkg.

Can you run "mount" and output the result here please ?

It is ok now. I started everything again from the first step and I had the same error than Diehardshorty, but opkg was installed successfully.

Code:
root@DD-WRT:/tmp# ipkg install opkg_576-1_ar71xx.ipk
ERROR: File not found: //usr/local/lib/ipkg/lists/whiterussian
       You probably want to run `ipkg update'
ERROR: File not found: //usr/local/lib/ipkg/lists/non-free
       You probably want to run `ipkg update'
ERROR: File not found: //usr/local/lib/ipkg/lists/backports
       You probably want to run `ipkg update'
/bin/ipkg: line 1184: sort: not found
Unpacking opkg...Done.
Configuring opkg...Done.


Thanks.

It's a small victory! I got it working. I just have to debug two functions which are making the daemon freeze.

I increased the sleep timeout to 5 seconds instead of 2 in the startup script because sometimes it doesn't run.

I will admit I am a newb and probably doing something wrong. All seems well until I get to step 8 and see the following:


root@DD-WRT:~# cat > /mnt/root/.profile << EOF
> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH='/opt/lib:/opt/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/usr/local/lib'
> export PATH='/sbin:/opt/bin:/opt/usr/bin:/opt/sbin:/opt/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/usr/local/bin'
> export PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\u@\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]'
> export TERMINFO='/opt/usr/share/terminfo'
> EOF
-sh: can't create /mnt/root/.profile: nonexistent directory


Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Probably You didn't create /mnt/root directory.

Hello, thanks much for this post. I tried using it but even after a couple of reboots I get an error msg:

root@DD-WRT root $ opkg update
opkg: can't resolve symbol 'glob64' in lib 'opkg'.

I'm bad with coding and don't really know what most of the code means. Should I just go through the steps again and hope for a better end?

Thanks!
