Irssi

rizzler

Was just wondering, is it possible to run irssi on the pfsense server with a screen?

There's a FreeBSD package for it. Install it and find out. ;)

pkg_add -r ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/All/irssi-0.8.15_2.tbz

Probably not a great idea from a security point of view. Don't try it on a production machine! :P

Sweet! :D
nah, it's just a home router! :P
Can i install it trough the webinterface or do i need to go onto install it trough the terminal?
Also, is "screen" installed already or do i need to install it ?

stephenw10

Whilst you probably could do it through the web gui it's much easier from the terminal.

I'm not sure about screen, I don't use it on pfSense.

i got it installed, thank you! :D

however when i try to start it by typing "irssi" i get
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.9: unsupported file layout

do you know why ? :/

stephenw10

Are you running 64bit?

Are you running 64bit?

Steve

ye, running AMD64 om a Dual core processor.

Then you need to install:


pkg_add -r ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/amd64/packages-8.1-release/All/irssi-0.8.15_2.tbz

stephenw10

You probably want to remove the wrong version first.

pkg_delete irssi

Not 100% on the syntax there! ::)

Steve

ptt

Yes, first remove the non working package, then install the Good one ;)

If im not wrong, must bee something like:


pkg_delete irssi-0.8.15_2

rizzler

now i got the following error :/

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/mach/CORE/libperl.so: unsupported file layout

stephenw10

Has it correctly installed that perl library?
If it has I'd say there's a good chance that it didn't uninstall the 64bit version of perl correctly.

What do you have listed if you run: pkg_info

you may need to uninstall all irssi depenecies that was installed i386 verson on x64

this is dependecies listed in freebsd ports:

I tryed to remove both python and glib then irssi and reinstalled it, irssi installed python and glib now but i still get this error :/

try with 8.2 packages, maybe it will work.

but please, test on a non production server.

rizzler

after reinstalling glib-2.28.8_3, gmake-3.82 it now works, thank you guys so very much for the help, it's really appriciated :)

stephenw10

Nice one!
Could have saved some time if I'd thought you may have been running 64bit in the first place! ::)
Actually I'm quite surprised it doesn't have some checks in the package sysetem to stop this happening. Lesson learned.
