Erik n' Friends,
Okay, egg on my face. I _thought_ I had linked the libraries
correctly...but I'm a fool, as the makefile told me. It appears as
though I liked the files incorrectly, somehow, and managed to screw
things up pretty good. I'm not sure why it worked at all, really. I
mean, physically, the link was there, so a check would have passed, but
when the linker went to work it's voodoo, it would have failed...so why,
then, did it fail on the check for the library. Oh well, thus is the
black art of System Administration. :-)
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I got it working. Having an issue
getting perl to compile some of its garbage...but that's not a real
problem as what I need from it (_just_ `perl`) is compiling and
executing like a champ.
I would like to thank the people that have worked on the Buildroot
system. I know that enough storage is dedicated here to the continual
grauveling of us users to the developers, but hey...what's a few more
Kbytes between friends. :-) I know that porting someone else's work
can be difficult, because there are as many styles of coding as there
are people doing it. My thanks goes out to Erik and everyone else that
have modified, cleaned up, and generally hammered out the buildroot
package. This makes development MUCH easier on our side, as we can just
set our scripts to fire off a few downloads, and compile everything
within a neat little chroot'ed environment. Good Show. :-)
So, I'm thinking that maybe putting in a few checks like "If the current
user does not have permission to write files to '/lib', AND they have
indicated that they do not want to use 'sudo' or 'su', then fail". Good
idea? Or maybe not even fail, just log a warning or something similar.
At least that way, you can easily point out the failure.
Thanks again,
Thomas Cameron

I spent a bit of time working on it last night, and hope to have all
those problems fixed up tonight or tomorrow...
