Cannot get the the firmware mod kit to work with Ubuntu

[Lucian_rider]

Hi,

I have a new 13" MacBook and via Parallels 4 I have created a virtual machine and installed Ununtu. The install is fully up to date and as far as I can see I have all of the dependencies installed include going so far as to do an apt-get of build essentials.

But I keep getting an error indicating that there is probably a dependency problem. Here is a cut and paste of what I am doing and what I get:

chris@chris-laptop:/tmp/firmmod$ ls
bins                        extract_firmware.sh           ipkg_remove_all.sh
build_firmware.sh           extract.log                   ipkg_remove.sh
check_for_upgrade.sh        firmware_mod_kit.htm          shared.inc
cleanup.sh                  firmware_mod_kit_version.txt  test-cases.txt
creating_ipkg_packages.htm  ipkg_install_all.sh
ddwrt.bin                   ipkg_install.sh
chris@chris-laptop:/tmp/firmmod$ ./extract_firmware.sh ddwrt.bin bins/

I have tried having the files in my home, I have also checked the permissions but I keep getting the same error.

The Checklog file is basically empty with on the following:
make: *** src: No such file or directory.  Stop.

I have also tried using the Firmware mod under OSX after installing  X11. This gives me the exact same problem!!!

I'm pulling my hair out here. I would really appreciate some help so I can get this working.

I'm very surprised that no one had any comment as to what other dependencies are needed. Well I finally figured out that I needed to install the zlibc and the zlib1 pacakages. After that it worked fine...

I just installed FMK on Ubuntu (Intrepid), and had to install lib1g-dev for the tool to build successfully.
