Terminal not opening after installing development packages.

[meaty]

Hello,


Just tried opening the terminal, and this error pops up:


Failed to execute default Terminal Emulator.


Input/Output error.


It was working fine earlier in the session. Any help would be much appreciated.


Just found this out: the pandora button doesn't bring up the kill menu and I can't disable wifi, nor does the root terminal recognise my password.

If you're booting off SD card, check it up.


If you're booting from NAND : reflash

Thanks sebt3, reflashing now.


Update:


Okay, it seems to happen when I run the commands (straight from the thread http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?/topic/53964-cross-compiling-is-bollocks-toolchains-are-bollocks-use-your-pandora-to-build-apps/):


sudo bash


opkg update


opkg install gcc_4.3.3 gcc-symlinks gcc-doc make_3.81 make-dev binutils-dev vim_7.2 vim-syntax


opkg install cpp cpp-symlinks


opkg install g++_4.3.3 g++-symlinks


opkg install libstdc++-dev


When I try to ssh into the pandora, I get the error:


-bash: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I remember getting a similar error before I reflashed when I tried to run Vim, straight after installing the libstdc++ package.


Is there any fix or do I reflash again? If I reflash, any ideas on what I'm doing wrong when trying to install the development tools?

Starting recently ncurses5 is required to keep this stuff from happening.

sudo opkg update

sudo opkg install ncurses5

Then the rest.

Excellent, thanks mindlord.


I try it out and it comes out with

:~$ sudo opkg install ncurses5

Collected errors:

 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package ncurses5.

Strangely, it also makes DeadBeef start stuttering while it's trying to install ncurses5. Actually, this happens whenever any opkg installing takes place.



Update: I did

sudo opkg install ncurses

and it seems to be working. I'll see how this goes and come back with an update.



After

opkg install gcc_4.3.3 gcc-symlinks gcc-doc make_3.81 make-dev binutils-dev vim_7.2 vim-syntax

it comes out with

Collected errors:

 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package gcc_4.3.3.

 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package make_3.81.

 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package vim_7.2.

but I can relaunch terminal/vim no problems.

Update: I did

sudo opkg install ncurses

, and it seems to be working. I'll see how this works out and come back with an update.

Sorry meant to say:

sudo opkg install libncurses5

So try that if the problem persists. Worked for me anyways.

 

[meaty]

Sweet, I just tried that and it's telling me it's up to date. I'm still getting errors, the most recent being

Collected errors:

 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package g++_4.3.3.

Woh, lots of errors on the last one.

sudo opkg install libsdl-1.2-dev libsdl-gfx-dev libsdl-image-1.2-dev libsdl-mixer-dev libsdl-net-1.2-dev libsdl-ttf-2.0-dev

Wavebreaker seems to compile with one error

main.cpp:22:27: error: SDL/SDL_image.h: No such file or directory

Any more dependencies I'm missing? How would I find out what to get myself? A bit of a linux n00b here =)



[edit] Alright, got it working! I did

sudo opkg install libpng-dev --force-overwrite

sudo opkg install libsdl-image-1.2-dev
