This is a long post, if you need (libglib_1.2.0_arm.ipk) to satisfy MC in cacko, look at end of this post.
I've had Cacko-lite 1.23 installed on this C3100 for a long time with no reflashing. I think about 2 years.
I've installed/un-installed tons of stuff onto it in that time period.
Today, I decided to install midnight commander (mc_4.6.0-lite-1_arm.ipk)
I decided on this version because it comes from the cacko feed and is for the "lite" version of cacko.
It sent me down the dependency road to @#@#
It complained about a missing libglib-1.2.so.0
This file was really difficult to find. This is what I did.
First, I decided to use (libglib2.0_2.2.1-1_arm.ipk), since it is the only libglib in any of the cacko feeds that I tried.
It didn't work at first, so I made a symlink from /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 --> /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0
Midnight commander launched! I thought I fixed it after only 15 minutes.
Then I restarted Qtopia, to test and see if this actually fixed my problem. It didn't.
What happened during the Qtopia restart was, another symlink was created, and it was named this: libglib-1.2_link.so.0
I still had my original libglib-1.2.so.0 symlink, but MC started complaining about libglib-1.2.so.0 being missing.
Next, I decided to delete both above mentioned symlinks and un-installed (libglib2.0_2.2.1-1_arm.ipk)
I went searching for libglib 1.2 and found 4 versions of (libglib 1.2.0), after about an hour of searching.
Actually there are 3 different filenames. and 2 versions of the same filename.
(libglib1.2_1.2.10-1_arm.ipk and libglib1.2_1.2.10-2_arm.ipk) and 2 with same filename. (libglib_1.2.0_arm.ipk)
I found 2 versions from the year 2001. I decided NOT to use those.
I found 2 other versions from 2003 and 2004.
The filenames are identical, but the one from 2003 is 176k, and the one from 2004 is 61k
I decided to try the newest one first, since it is also smaller in filesize. It wanted to install to /lib
WAIT! that's the RO filesystem! I got an error in the GUI pkg installer before I figured this out. So I un-installed this version.
Next, I installed the version from 2003 (176k). It installed to: /home/root/usr/lib
This is the one that works!! I restarted Qtopia and launched MC with no problems..
I'm not sure if libglib-1.2.so.0 actually comes pre-installed in cacko full or lite, but I may attribute my missing lib from a long ago installation/un-installation of XQT. Google pointed me to the XQT thread.
If anyone needs this lib, I'm going to attach it here.
Be certain you don't already have this pre-installed.
Look below at the files, as this one installs to:
/home/root/usr/lib
libglib-1.2.so.0
libglib-1.2.so.0.0.10
libglib.so
libgmodule-1.2.so.0
libgmodule-1.2.so.0.0.10
libgmodule.so
