Re: Tarsnap on ReadyNAS NV+

[Emmanuel Bégué <medusis@gmail.com>]

A little update about this:

1. Colin gave me the command for autoconf, which is:

./configure --build=sparc-unknown-linux-gnu
("build" and not "load" ;-)

2. the problem with the dependencies is linked to software version
4.1.7 (most recent one for ReadyNAS Sparc); with the previous one
(4.1.6) it's possible to install tarsnap and its dependencies without
any problem, and it works.

I have contacted Netgear to ask that they update the packages
according to the current software version.
