Getting started How-To

Tried again to install the *-dev packages after installing T45 and got the same results.

See ERROR near the end....

I tried following firmware.

* RAIDiator-4.00b5-p1-T1
* RAIDiator-4.00b9-p1-T1
* RAIDiator-4.00c1-p1
* RAIDiator-4.00c1-p2-T38
* RAIDiator-4.00c1-p2-T45

But all failed.

Same after updating to T45 and trying again.

Reinstall from flash T45
reran apt-get update
Decided to not do the gcc steps...
and started with
apt-cache search ntp
apt-get openntpd

same issue at the end of the process

The default action is to keep your current version.

Seems to be something with the apt-get update changes, or we are just lucky with gcc and openntpd.

libssl0.9.8 is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:

Back to getting an updated libc6

I'm running T38 (waiting to upgrade to T45 until a long operation finishes and I'll be able to restart without interrupting it) but have been unable to use apt-get to install any of the *-dev packages. The gcc and gdb bits installed w/o any issues.

Upon doing a factory reset under T45, I decided to have another go at this. The one change to my procedure was that by the time I'd been following these instructions on T38, I'd already done a wget of apt-get from the debian site and installed it with dpkg. The difference that caused, and what I wanted to share here is that the following (first) line was missing from /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://www.infrant.com/packages readynas/

In fact, the sources.list seems to have far fewer things in it when installed via the APT add-on versus a direct wget from debian.org. So for others who have been doing other apt-get work before doing these instructions, you probably want to consider applying the APT add-on anyway, just to get the correct sources.list.

With the correct sources.list, I had no trouble installing the indicated packages.

Yes, thanks btaroli. And for those seeing illegal instructions, you must have installed a debian glibc package. DO NOT DO THIS! If you are seeing illegal instructions, you need to do a 5-second firmware reinstall, and then delete any newer glibc libraries (eg. "# rm -f /lib/libc-2.3.6.so"). If you do not do this, each time ldconfig is run, the illegal instructions will come back!

My sources list is very long. Could someone post the the list from the APT add-on?

Thanks!
