Hi,
Since I upgrade to version 2.0.0.18 and I want to install CSUP; I need GCC to be recovered. (As I understand)
So, I did all steps to recover gcc and when type gcc it gives gcc: no input files
[root@NAS ~]# gcc
gcc: no input files
Dose that mean GCC recovered successfully and working ok?
[root@NAS ~]# gcc
gcc: no input files
But when I tried to ./configure or make csup I got configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[root@NAS cups-1.3.8]# ./configure
checking for gawk… gawk
checking for gcc… gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name…
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
Any hint to go over this?
Regards,

LORD I just tried this but did not notice the only delete in the /usr folder!!!!
I was able to fix it my mounting the drive elsewhere and just restoring the libgcc files but still what a pain.
I might suggest that you simply change the find function to find /usr instead of find /, this would save alot of headaches as it would seem a few people have made the same mistake.

Here is what I did:
Upgraded my firmware to 2.00.18, I had everything working the way I wanted except GCC. So I downloaded the images and put them out in my PUBLIC share. I ran a cp -r -u -v /shares/internal/PUBLIC/MY_BOOK/SDA1/usr/ ./ from the /usr on MBWE II 1TB. It was copying everything fine until libcrypto! I am a AIX/Linux admin and at this point I said the oh crap… It closed my connection. I attempted to reboot and it just sat there. Now I have a brick, I am assuming. I had it configured as one large volume, so here is my plan. Let me know if this will work. I was going to get a sata enclosure and put hard drive A into it. Load my laptop into Fedora and mount it up. Could I just dump the SDA portion of the recovery onto the hard drive an get it to work? Has anyone tried this. The other thing I found puzzling in all of this is why it still didn't just boot up. All of the info should still be there. Any ideas?

I don't see why this wouldn't work tbh.
Do you mean just extracting your backup files straight onto the partition?
An alternative would be to take a look at the backup section of this wiki, grab an actual image and reimage the partition (aka - deal with the data as raw rather than individual files to ensure a clean copy and retain permissions etc)?
At the end of the day, its an OS. Same with any OS, you take a straight backup from a machine with the same hardware and its gonna work on another machine.
Happy days!

Step 16 only copies files that DO NOT exist in /usr, hence restoring GCC. I don't know specifically which files are copied, but only files you need will be copied.

frater 1213518636|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
All symbolic links are overwritten because the original symbolic links had 1-1-1970 as a filedate because the system didn't have the time when they were created.
Probably nothing wrong here, because they are most likely to point to the same files, but "most likely" is not enough for me.
The "-u" in cp -r -u -T /tmp/sda1/usr /usr does NOT only copy files that are non-existing in the target. It updates existing files as well.
Although the symbolic links have a date of "1-1-1970", they are in fact "newer" because they belong to the 2.00.18 firmware. I want to leave those untouched.
The command should definately be replaced by: cp -r -p -u -T /tmp/sda1/usr /usr
But what's the best way to only copy non-existing files?
I'm sure this can be done using a one-liner…. like it should be possible to only update and not create files… (don't know how to do that either)

I have a MBWE 1TB, which came with F/W 2.00.15. After gaining SSH-access, making lighttp listen on port 8080 and installing PHP, I wanted to install MRTG - but failed because gcc was not present. Anyway, I followed this guide, crossed fingers and in step 16 followed frater's advice:
cp -r -p -u -T /tmp/sda1/usr /usr
Works fine. Now installing MRTG :o)

Hi guys, just joined the pack.
Concerning the above question from frater about how to restore only files which are not present at the time, without updating anything while keeping the dates: I let tar do the work for me. The long (and tested) version is to substitute step 16 with
tar -cvzf usr.recover.tgz usr
cd /
tar -xvzkf /tmp/sda1/usr.recover.tgz
So far i have compiled hdparm without trouble, so everything seems to work. Now come to think of it, substituting steps 15 and 16 with
tar -xvzk -C / -f SDA1FILE.tar.gz usr
from within /tmp/sda1 should do the same trick quicker (however, not tested).
One detail that occurred to me while comparing the original and the restored directories was that in the 02.00.15 firmware that came with my box, /lib/libfloat.so.1 is missing. So I copied it from the SDA1FILE.tgz, and ran ldconfig after backing up the old /etc/ld.so.cache . Also, some static libraries are installed where the version numbers conflict with already existing shared libs (e.g. libc, libm, libstdc++, libcrypto).
Another thing is: How do i know that the kernel sources i have now recovered are the ones which lead to the kernel that came with the MBWE? Kernel version for the 02.00.15 firmware is 2.6.17.14, can someone with an older firmware please check his kernel version?

TELL USERS TO CD INTO /usr folder first. Poorly written instructions. How many mybooks have you bricked?
Delete all files and directories found by those three commands that are in /usr and sub directories of /usr with: rm -r -f <path to file/dir name> and repeat steps 4-6 to verify they are all gone.
8. Backup your /usr dir with: tar -czvf usr.tar.gz /usr

I would like to suggest to chelrob that he either insert a warning or modify as I have found it very dangerous.
I think this post might also provide some partial answers to snakenetb.
First, I bought a MyBook with FW 2.00.18 on it and no gcc compiler, so I followed the above chelrob procedure exactly and got gcc working on my MyBook. I also compiled/installed ncurses and nano and this worked perfectly.
My problem was that this install clobbered my password files, so after logging out, I could not log back in [through ssh].
I created another user and password, and noticed I could not get rid of the user I had previously created for which Samba now had no password. I eventually managed to log back in with this new user but could no longer obtain superuser access as this password had also been clobbered. I will now go back to the Martin Hiner script and set up ssh again and get it to blank this password.
I am still trying to make sense of what happened, but when I inspected the SDA1FILE.TAR archive, I found some libraries and other files contained file names but zero bytes. I suspect these may have overwritten existing libraries and files, effectively erasing them. By the way, what was the firmware version used to create the SDA1FILE and the other files - was it 2.00.14?
Anyway my MyBook is pretty much a brick until I can get some clean firmware installed back onto it. I need to go back to an older version of firmware which will completely re-write my sda1 partition, but I don't know how to force the MyBook to accept an earlier version "downgrade". Any advice anyone?
