Hi! I installed it on FreeNAS 8.0.2 and when trying to start mlnet it says Command not found. I can’t even find a folder of mldonkey in the filesystem… ?
That’s strange. If the install went in the right way you should be able to launch mlnet.
Please check that the packages are still they same and haven’t been updated since I wrote this post: if even one of the files is missing the install will not proceed correctly.
The script downloads correctly the three files, of that I’m sure… I’m trying other releases of Freenas, now the 8.0 i386, let’s see what happens…
P.S: I forget to say I’m using virtualbox to try it.
Nothing to do even with 8.0 i386. I have a question: I used two (virtual) disks in mirror zfs formatted for the storage of the FreeNAS; did you do the installation using USF as filesystem? Can this be the problem? Thanks!
I used a ZFS volume, but that’s not the point. MlDonkey would be installed on the available free space on the install media (in my case it is a USB drive), not on data partitions.
Did you try to look for the mldonkey executable by using find?
Just to let you know, my mlnet executable is in /usr/local/bin/mlnet
for FreeNAS 8.0.4p1
you need additional packages:
graphics/png-1.4.5.tbz
textproc/expat-2.0.1_1.tbz
print/freetype2-2.4.4.tbz
x11-fonts/fontconfig-2.8.0,1.tbz
converters/libiconv-1.13.1_1.tbz
devel/pkg-config-0.25_1.tbz
