Hello,
I am trying to install some software on a Linux system version after 2.8, so no Angstrom anymore (there was another problem with these). The problem is that every time I try to download a package or to install it after manual download, almost every package complains about the missing libc library. For example opkg install file leads to:
(...)
Problem 1/1:
- nothing provides libc needed by file-5.37-1.arm_cortex-a7_neon-vfpv4
(...)
What I already did:
I already tested the Linux 5.0 Multimedia demo image and have now flashed the QT demo image, but the problem is still the same.
I updated /etc/opkg/opkg.conf with:
arch armv7a 100
arch arm_cortex-a7_neon-vfpv4 101
src openwrt downloads.openwrt.org/releases/packages-19.07/arm_cortex-a7-neon-vfpv4/packages/
Is there already a problem with the architecture perhaps? As far as I can see, the imx7 Dual should meet the given architecture requirements that I appended to the file…
I was able to install pip over the python3-API but over opkg install nothing works. In /lib/ the library libc.so is missing, but libc.so.6 is present. If I install for example nano with supressing errors ldd /usr/bin/nano leads to:
(...)
libncursesw.so.6 => not found
(...)
libc.so => not found
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x76ea2000)
/lib/ld-musl-armhf.so.1 => /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 (0x76fbe000)
Creating symlinks for libc.so (and libncursesw respectively) to the existing lib does not help. Executing nano still leads to:
-sh /usr/bin/nano: No such file or directory
Which seems to be a misleading error information, because the executable exists and the library just can´t be found…
I am not even sure if libc.so should be a real library or a linker script, see the following page… Can someone tell me that?
Does someone have a suggestion how I can solve this problem to install (at least any) software over opkg. Building a custom image is currently not possible for me due to company´s internet restrictions and I also want to understand what the problem really is and how to solve it.
