Help installing curl or using it through a jail

[pcloadetter]

I have a shell script I wrote which calls curl. I have curl installed in a jail, but I wanted to install it on the FN OS. (my script isnt related to anything jailed)

I attempt to install curl

[root@xxx~]# pkg install curl-7.38.0_1

which ends up with

pkg: archive_read_open_filename(/usr/ports/packages/All/gcc-ecj-4.5.txz): Failed to open '/usr/ports/packages/All/gcc-ecj-4.5.txz'

I tried to install

pkg install gcc-ec

with the same result

I tried to call it from a jail

/mnt/xxxx/jails/sabnzbd_1/usr/local/bin/curl

and got the message

Shared object "libcurl.so.4" not found, required by "curl"

Any suggestions how I can use curl other than from within the existing jail

It's a very bad idea to modify the base OS. Just use your script in a jail ;)

Curl is already installed in freenas....

Do not install any packages in the base OS. FreeNAS is designed as an appliance and you run a very strong chance of breaking by doing what you are trying to do.

Keep software installs to the jails or a virtualbox VM, that's what they're there for.

From FreeNAS:

Code:

[root@citadel] ~# curl --version
curl 7.38.0 (amd64-portbld-freebsd9.3) libcurl/7.38.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8zd zlib/1.2.8
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: AsynchDNS IPv6 Largefile GSS-API SPNEGO NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz
[root@citadel] ~#

From a jail:

Code:

root@downloads:/ # curl --version
curl 7.45.0 (amd64-portbld-freebsd9.3) libcurl/7.45.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8z zlib/1.2.8

root@downloads:/ # 

From another jail:

Code:

root@revproxy1:/ # curl --version
curl 7.45.0 (amd64-portbld-freebsd9.3) libcurl/7.45.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8z zlib/1.2.8

location of curl on FreeNAS:

Code:

[root@citadel] ~# which curl
/usr/local/bin/curl

ok, i have no idea why it wasn't working before, but it seems to be now.
