Installed entware - many things cant load libc.so.6

[Turgut Kalfaoglu]

Hi.. I installed entware on my AC68U following the
https://github.com/Entware/Entware/wiki/Install-on-Asus-stock-firmware
installation guide.
However now many commands complain of missing libc.so.6 like ipkg and named and transmission Any ideas?

example launch:
s# /opt/etc/init.d/S50downloadmaster start
cat: can't open '/tmp/dm_mount_path_n': No such file or directory
check DM2 start
dm2_ipk is OK
check DM2 end
killall: dm2_transmission-daemon: no process killed
killall: dm2_amuled: no process killed
killall: dm2_nzbget: no process killed
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.
iptables: Bad rule (does a matching rule exist in that chain?).
iptables: Bad rule (does a matching rule exist in that chain?).

Followup -- I renamed /opt/asusware.arm to something else and told the router to do a factory reset..
Now I have a brand new /opt/asusware.arm directory

What firmware are you running?

Flash RMerlin 384.16_0 and do a full reset/Initialize all settings and also format the USB drive you have in a PC before you plug it into the newly formatted router.

Now, using PuTTY and ssh, use amtm (the preferred and official method) to install Entware properly.

When installing Entware on a stock Asus router the /opt directory is a symbolic link that points to the mounted USB. I have had issues getting Entware to run with the scripts embedded in nvram so I have used another script method. Will look it up and post later.

Edit:
Before installing Entware I create a script called post-mount in /jffs/ to mount the USB

#!/bin/sh
swapon /dev/sda1
# recreate the opt dir after every reboot
mkdir /tmp/opt
# where /dev/sdX# is your usb opt partition
mount /dev/sda2 /tmp/opt
sleep 2
ln -sf \$1 /tmp/opt
/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung start

I use a USB formated to EXT4 but you may need to use EXT2 or 3. I also create a swap partition on the USB which is my sda1. (I have an old how to for a swap file on stock Asus here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/add-swap-to-usb-drive-on-asus-router.46911/)
To run the script at boot/USB insertion:

nvram set script_usbmount="/jffs/post-mount"
nvram commit

How did you get around the missing read-only link /opt/var?

The stock firmware is missing the readonly link (/opt/var) so Entware install fails with the following messages. Have you found any work around this? I am on ASUS GT-AX11000 with stock firmware ( Version:3.0.0.4.384_8011)

Info: Basic packages installation...

I attempted to edit the opkg.conf to work around it but still not able to get past the missing /opt/var

Update: as a work around, I got the /sda1 (my usb) mounted directly under the /opt and its all good.

/dev/sda1 on /opt type ext3 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
