I know that the instructions are for debian based linux but has anyone got the server running on PCLinuxOS?

I am running it on gentoo - it doesn't depend on anything distro specific as far as I can see.

I was trying to follow the wiki on installing it and there were a few packages it apparently needs (aswell vlc and the usual codecs).

"apt-get install ruby1.8 ruby rubygems libsqlite3-ruby libopenssl-ruby vlc ffmpeg"

I have ffmpeg, vlc, and ruby installed

But there are no libsqlite3-ruby or libopenssl-ruby packages in the repos.

When I try and run the server I get an error about something to do with sqlite3 (I am at work so can't post it at the moment)

Would love to get this up and running.

I use PS3mediaserver normally which I can browse with the built in file manager and media player but when trying to play videos I only have sound. This is a known bug and will hopefully be fixed in an update but Knots 2 looks better for my N900 anyway.

I don't know PCLinuxOS, but openssl package could be bundled with ruby so you may not need it. Sqlite3 could be just named differently, try searching for sqlite3 and try to find something like ruby-sqlite3 or sqlite3-ruby. If you can find the correct packages, could you update the wiki and add install instructions?

when i type./knots.rb i get this:
/usr/bin/env: ruby: File or map does not exist

What operating system? If it's Windows, start it with If not, you need to install ruby and the rest of the dependencies.

Not a problem, I will have a play and see what I can find

I have installed all of the things from beginning to end. OS Ubuntu 9.10

This is the output I get when trying to start the server:

/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- sqlite3 (LoadError)

Ok, be sure to if you have ruby1.8 installed or start it with .
