Want To Install Openvpn
« on: September 24, 2006, 02:54:04 pm »
Hi all,
after getting wifi access, I seek to hung my lan. to do that I want a openvpn client on my simpad (so good to be in linux land). I found the .ipk files at Xromer

obviosly I wanted to use lzo, and ran its install first. but I got this:
Quote
root@simpad:~# ipkg install http://mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib/Xromer/OldBetas/lzo_
2.02_armv5tel.ipk
Downloading http://mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib/Xromer/Old....02_armv5tel.ip
k
Clearing state_want and state_flag for pkg=lzo (arch_priority=0 flag=16 want=2)
Nothing to be done
An error ocurred, return value: 4.
Collected errors:
Cannot find package lzo.
Check the spelling or perhaps run 'ipkg update'

I got a similer error when tring to install openvpn .ipk

to fix this I tried to add the url as:

Code: [Select]
src Xromer http://mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib/Xromer/OldBetas
to my /etc/ipkg.conf

but it didn't fix it.

I asked Xromer and he replaied:
Quote
Well, these are the packages you' re searching for, install them
directly with ipkg install <package>
instead of searching them with the ipkg update.
Note that if you want to point my reposistory you have to modify the
/etc/ipkg.conf file and insert the URL to my REP.
I' m no more working on PdaXrom for divergencies with Sashz and other,
i' m beginning to play with OZ.
The OpenVPN packages can also complain about the kernel lzo
implementation, if it' s your case download the lzo paclage
of your kernel.
BYE!! Xromer

plz help me
