Actually I can see all those modules are included in /opt/squeezebox-server/CPAN - is there somethign that needs to be done to set it as the default path or something?

Everything works fine for me, but the server page (localhost:9000) sometimes takes 2-3 minutes to finish loading, which it didn't do on ubuntu before I switched my server to arch. I'm happy with the current build...

Well, I have none of these packages installed (except perlxml) and squeezebox-server works fine... Could you explain why they should be required? Maybe they provide extra features and should then be optional. As for the &>/dev/null, you're right; I'll remove it right away. :)

sjakub commented on 2010-05-29 15:22 (UTC)

Some missing dependencies (not all): perl-json-xs perl-html-parser perl-dbd-mysql perlxml perl-digest-sha1 perl-gd perl-sub-name Also, you should probably remove the &>/dev/null from rc.d file. If there is an error it really really should be displayed ;)

Dropped it in... no problems of any kind, the easiest squeezebox-server install ever. Thanks.

Weirdly, no I don't have mysqld installed otherwise. I just had a look, and it turns out that the shipped mysql and mppdec do run. Maybe they're statically linked in logitech's distribution to avoid dependancy problems? I haven't had a look at any of the other built packages, but the full perl source tar only has 32bit binaries in it, so I doubt any of them are any better. I did come up with a better solution than symlinks, which was to put a custom-convert.conf file in the squeezebox-server directory that bypasses the in-built search path (neatly ignoring the binaries they ship,) and just points to the standard /usr/bin location. Perhaps a fix would be to remove the logitech shipped tools, modify convert.conf or supply a custom-convert.conf and make optional (or hard) dependencies on the pacman versions of the tools? Honestly though, it's probably not worth it; I doubt it'll come up for anyone but me. The only way you'd see this is if you don't populate /lib32 *and* have a prehistoric squeezebox. :) Aside from this one minor issue, everything works perfectly, by the way; great job. :)

That's very good to know, AggroBoy, thanks. Just to be sure: you do have mysql installed system-wide, right? (I'd be confused if squeezebox-server worked otherwise, since the binary it ships with is in Bin/i386-linux too.) Hum, all that cheap x86_64 support is a bit of a problem... It certainly works okay with distributions that populate /lib32, but not clean ones, like Arch. ;) Well, I could also have missed something with the packaging - if you happen to install the RPM package and it works better than this one, please let me know.

Just a quick note to point out that the binaries in bin/i386 are just that; 32-bin 386 binaries. They won't work on x86-64 installs without lib32 (compatibility) libraries. The binaries are used to transcode file types that aren't natively supported by your squeezebox. If you need to do that, you can install the 32bit libs or install x86-64 versions of the tools and replace the i386 binaries with symlinks to those. Hopefully this'll save someone else the two hours it just took me to figure out why my old Squeezebox2 wouldn't play flacs, but my Squeezebox3 will. :)
