Greetings!
On a 5500 running OZ 3.5.3, I am trying to install ncurses, ncurses-terminfo, and kismet to the sd card.
I get the following errors:
root@collie: ipkg -d sd install ncurses_5.4-r7_arm.ipk
Installing ncurses (5.4-r7) to sd...
package ncurses suggests installing ncurses-terminfo
Installing ncurses (5.4-r7) to sd...
package ncurses suggests installing ncurses-terminfo
Configuring ncurses
ipkg: Cannot create symlink from ./etc/terminfo/v/vt200 to '../v/vt200': Operation not permitted
ipkg: Cannot create symlink from ./etc/terminfo/x/xterm to 'xterm-color': Operation not permitted
ipkg: Cannot create symlink from ./usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 to 'libncurses.so.5.4': Operation not permitted
ipkg: Cannot create symlink from ./usr/lib/libmenu.so.5 to 'libmenu.so.5.4': Operation not permitted
ipkg: Cannot create symlink from ./usr/lib/libpanel.so.5 to 'libpanel.so.5.4': Operation not permitted
ipkg: Cannot create symlink from ./usr/lib/libform.so.5 to 'libform.so.5.4': Operation not permitted
When I try to install ncurses-terminfo and kismet (even nano!) i get similar errors.
I can't figure this out, as I have already installed other packages such as nmap, konqueror-embedded, and iptables.
Your help would be appreciated.

Your sd card is probably formatted with fat or fat32, you need a unix filesystem (ie etx2) to be able to use symlinks. (or umsdos or others if they are available)

thanks pgas - that was it.
i thought my card was ok since i had already installed iptables on it, and it was working.
i reformatted to ext2, and all is well.
thanks again.
