Need help compiling Automatic for Duo
I found Automatic and want to use it with Transmission. I've gotten a lot of packages installed on my Duo to compile, but I'm stuck. Here is the error I'm getting: checking for LIBXML... configure...

Well performance wise the Duo is good as a file server, but things could slow down a lot if you try to run much in the way of add-ons as the processor isn't very powerful. The newer x86 ReadyNas use much more powerful processors (and more memory by default) and can run many add-ons with ease. Also x86 ReadyNas were first released back in 08, I believe and no x86 model has been discontinued yet, so there's not so big issues with supporting older ReadyNas yet. The Intel x86 platform also receives more in the way of development focus by the open source world I would imagine as it's quite a popular platform.
I don't know if x86 ReadyNas has some of the same issues with regards to compiling Automatic, but a community developer like super-poussin should know a bit about what packages are installed, not to mention the Jedi.
