[HELP!]New libc from openwrt broke everything on ddwrt!?!?!?!

Hi, 

A while ago I used this guide: 
http://g300nh.blogspot.com/2010/06/software-installation-on-dd-wrt-part-1.html 
and installed opkg, nano, and samba on my dir825 running 15437. 
Today I ran the command opkg install libc to check for updates and it installed libc 0.9.3-60 on my router. 

After that, everything breaks. nano returns xterm errors, swap dies, samba fails to start, and I cant install any packages because wget returns 255. 

Is there any way to fix this??? 

Any help would be very very very appreciated!!!!!

Login and run command:

Login and run command:

export LD_PRELOAD=

After that you should be able to use opkg again and commands to delete the never libc which you installed through opkg.

I actually solved the problem

I actually solved the problem by setting and target in opkg.conf from snapshot/packages to backfire/packages where they still have the old libc. But I think someday they will update that too

In general this is no problem

In general this is no problem, since you can force the use of a specific library e.g. libc to be used when you start an application, that's what I do if I create ipkg packages with openwrts toolchain.
